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.

fobs are people who have nothing to do in life other than hanging out in pearl Qatar and villagio and beefing up with everyone. fobs usually have curly hair and enjoy catcalling girls. most fobs ruin parties if they pull up and they all have the same style (black hoodis, skinny jeans...etc)
