I believe the answer is:

sods

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'turfs' is the first definition.
('sod' can be a synonym of 'turf')

'obnoxious individuals' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sods that I've seen before include "Lumps of earth" , "sort of law" , "Turves" , "Lumps of turf" , "Unpleasant people" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
