A term used to describe soldiers in Iraq that rarely if ever leave the relative safety of the Forward Operating Base (FOB). This is a perjoritive term used by soldiers that spend a lot of time outside the wire beaing shot at and dodging road-side bombs, for those soldiers that live a safer and more comfortable life.
The damn fobbits all seem to be getting the new armor before we do, and they don't even need it.

Verb. The act of crying to, for, over, or because of the band Fall Out Boy. The occurrence of sobbing uncontrollably to FOB's music was happening enough that it deserved it's own word. It is not uncommon to 'fob', especially when seeing FOB live.
Person 1: Any Fall Out Boy song is great to make out to, except for 'What a Catch, Donnie', because no one wants to make out while crying.

Person 2: You mean no one wants to make out while fobbing? Yeah, no kidding.

fobsessed 

being totally and utterly in love with Fall Out Boy, so much that you would rather die than to see the band break up.

people who are fobsessed are not teenies, these people live and breathe the music and dislike but tolerate the "oh em gee, pete wentz is global warming." sort of people. They know every scrap of information there is to do with FOB like the date Sugar We're Going Down was released (June 1, 2005) to what kind of car patrick drives (a blue honda civic) and what joe's dogs name is (its a pug and its name is shocker). They also own every album, EP and Dvd released by the band, and they have downloaded any other unreleased songs that there are. They usually belong to the Official Fall Out Boy fanclub too, aptly named Overcast Kids. And finally, they know every word to every song and can quote them in a heartbeat.

Fall Out Boy is;
Patrick Stump- Lead Vocals, Guitar, Main Composer
Peter Wentz- Bass Guitar, Back-up Vocals, Main Lyricist
Joseph Trohman- Lead Guitar, Back-up Vocals
Andrew Hurley- Drums
Person 1- Did you see her at the concert last night? She was totally crying while they played Thriller.
Person 2- Yeah, cuz that songs about their Diehard fans right? Oh and did you see her reaction when Joe hugged her at the signing? priceless. you could tell she was fobsessed.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
