(British) The practice of frequenting pubs.
Charmingly British slang for the activity of going to pubs — specifically the habitual or recreational practice of hopping between them. 'Pubbing' implies leisure, socialising, and a certain dedication to the British institution of the public house. It's often paired with other social activities in phrases like 'pubbing and clubbing,' suggesting a full night out. The word captures something the British take seriously: the pub isn't just a place to drink, it's a cultural ritual, and 'pubbing' is the verb form of that ritual.
(UK, Australia, NZ, slang) A public house, pub.
(UK, dialect) bread and milk given to babies or people who are unwell.

(British, colloquial, of a person) Who enjoys frequenting public houses.
"pubby" means who enjoys frequenting public houses. It is one of many casual words teens pick up from friends, social media, music or sport, and on its own it carries no particular warning. If you hear your teen use it, it is fair to ask what they mean by it in their friend group, since meanings drift quickly. Asking out of curiosity rather than alarm tends to keep the conversation open and useful.
"pubby" is informal English meaning who enjoys frequenting public houses. It is mainly heard in British English (and Irish English). A more formal or neutral equivalent would be something like "who enjoys frequenting public houses" expressed in standard vocabulary. A common mistake is to assume "pubby" can replace its standard equivalent in every register; keep it for spoken or casual situations and use the formal form in writing. If you are a B2 or C1 learner, it is useful to recognise this word when you hear or read it, but think carefully about whether the situation really calls for it before using it yourself.
