Get the Fobs mug.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.
