Diminutive of obstreperous - or is it obstrepherous?  Either way, that's the
derivative.

 . . . I think we chose well, dolphins are beautiful, do a lot of talking
and can be stroppy!

[lace] Dolphin and bobbin

Could replies be posted to the list, the dolphin leaping over a midland
bobbin is the emblem of my lace group (Moray Lacemakers)

Is there some significance in the relationship between the dolphin and
bobbin lacemaking? I ask because the emblem for Poole Bobbin Lace Circle is
a dolphin on top of a Bucks Thumper bobbin. The signigicance of the dolphin
in this case is that it's the emblem of the town of Poole, where we have the
Dophin Shopping Centre, swimming poole, etc. and the dolphin's on all
Borough of Poole stationery, vehicles and everything else.
