  1. I think fob is a negative word used to put down Asians. I think it implies that you're not fit in America.

  2. When I hear fob, I think of an Asian who has yet to assimilate into American culture, or simply chooses not to.

  3. Fob means fresh of the boat, and it meant for foreigners especially asians who dont speak english.

  4. fob is just an abreviation of fresh of the boat, the context its being used is to embarrase people and strong accents or just made to make fun of people

  5. fob means fresh off the boat. I've also heard "filipino on Bacation" because many filipinos with hard accents usually pronounce words with the letter "V" as the letter "B". It's just to make fun

  6. The term fob means "fresh off the boat." It usually represents foreigners who don't really speak English.

  7. Similar to what most people said, "fresh off the boat." Accents are key to this.

  8. The term means "fresh off the boat" and means people who had just come to America. I don't feel like it's that bad of a word actually because most my fob friends call themselves fobs as well.
