In Reichenbach fall: John tells Sherlock that everyone gets a tabloid nickname. Then he says "Subo (or Soobo), nasty nick". I assume he's referring to some other tabloid frequenter.

Who is Subo?

Is this something that all Brits would know and is just confusing to us yanks? I had the same question about SuBo – PaulStock Feb 21 at 22:06
@PaulStock - Does every American know who e.g. JLo or LiLo are? I guess it depends on how familiar one is with tabloids. – Oliver_C Feb 22 at 10:59
@Oliver_C - Ha! Very True! – PaulStock Feb 22 at 12:57
