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.

Abbreviation for "fresh off the boat." It refers to people who are new to a country. The phrase however, can be offensive depending on the circumstance; Esp. to those trying to assimilate. This phrase (in my opinion) is suitable only for those who choose NOT to incorporate the new culture into their own & feel no shame in looking goofy or weird in public. For example, that super horny and creepy dude you see on the street staring at every single female he sees.

Fresh off the boat
People who aren't white. This includes, but not limited to;
Cook Islanders
Samoans
Asians
Fijians
Basically anyone in the Pacific Ocean
Fobs are the best kinds of people. They know how to party, know how to cook, know their songs, can dance hella good and more. They mostly have huge pots and pans to cook for their huge families. ( Normally around 11-13 children ). They also cook for family events; e.g. Weddings, Funerals, Birthdays, White Sunday, New Years ect.
They are gansta and normally black people are jealous of them. Black people tend to hate on them and start fights because FOBS are too skuxx. There are alot of fights between Black people and FOBS. Black people tend to start fights 3 on 1 while a FOB is alone. But as soon as it's an even fight Black People run away to get more people because they are scared.
FOBS are muscular and strong. This is because they eat alot, but they are also doing work 24/7 to burn all the food and gain muscle. E.G; climbing coconut tress, mowing the lawn, Cleaning the house.
FOBS are the best dancers. From New Zealanders, Cook Islanders, Samoans, Tongans ect. The girls can move their hips; a real turn on. But the boy's fire dance is too die for. The boys learn the fire dance and can get alot of exercise from practising. This also helps to burn the food off. Traditional dances are preformed at weddings, birthdays, new years, Christmas and other events.
