Get the FOBmug. Fresh Off the Boat
An islander who is unfamiliar with the culture of the mainland they just set foot on and of the world in general.
This is an outdated perception as most islanders have a modern lifestyle. It could still be true for some nations, however.

Get the FOBmug. Acronym for the band Fall Out Boy. Someone said only posers use this acronym and that is a load of bull. I've been a FOB fan for years, before they were popular, and I still am now they are hotstuff; if you are going to regularly talk about them, why not use the shortened form? It should be quite obvious you aren't talking about people 'fresh off the boat' from the context. Besides, until today I was not even aware that this acronym was used for fresh off the boat, that sort of phrase isn't in my everyday language.
Random person "I love the video for 16 Candles - FOB rock!"
Random person "My favourite FOB song is Pretty in Punk."

Get the FOBmug. "Fresh Off Boat". Usually applied to oriental asians that seem to have just come to the U.S. from their asian birthplace. They have to cross that Pacific Ocean, hence "Fresh Off Boat". It also refers to the brand clothes the person is wearing, funny english pronunciations, music choice, obsession with DDR, and lack of driving skill.
