FOB (Future Other Betty):
1 - Reference to the new model wife/wives of Don Draper on Mad Men.
2 - Applied when a man picks a subsequent mate that is just as damaged as the first, thus repeating behavior pattern that will make a successful long-lasting pairing virtually impossible.
FOBs tend towards pretty on the outside...with a side of viciousness that makes one cringe. And in the case of Mad Men, yell at the television. In real life, avoidance is the preferred method of dealing with a FOB.

I certainly hope Megan doesn't turn out to be a FOB (future other Betty).
Poor Brian, he can't see she's a FOB. How many times does he have to make the same mistake?

Fob stands for Fresh Off the Boat and is a slang term that is used to refer to a south pacific islanders such as the Polynesians, Micronesians and Melanesians. (It is not offensive)
Person 1: Hey look its a group of fobs
Person 2: Oh yeah, aren't they called islanders?
Person 1: Yeah but you can also call them fobs, its just a slang term to call a group of islanders
Person 2: Oh right!
Person 2: Oh yeah, aren't they called islanders?

FOB stands for fresh off the boat. Its used as a noun - "so and so is a FOB". A FOB is basically any immigrant. Most definitions here refer it to east asians but its not limited to them.
Most contexts seem to use it with negative connotation - that the person has not adjusted to western culture and that they should be ashamed of their customs.
Sometimes, more trivially, it's used in the following context: when you think you're doing something 'cool' (by the standards of your people), but youre not (by the standards of white people), you're being a fob.
It could also be used as an adjective: fobby.
