[Could Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy) have received an OBE/et al…?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/could-phil-lynott-thin-lizzy-have-received-an-obe-et-al/1012416)

Out of Body Experience? Thus making me think he went for a trip on the astral plane, or perhaps was hospitalized and had an NDE (Near Death Experience). But the use of the verb “received” was rather curious-shouldn’t that be “experienced”?

Oh. Have no idea what the OP actually meant by said abbreviation, nor has anyone bothered to define it there yet–but it appears that it is some sort of knighthood or such.
