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.

"FUFB!" A chalk message on my platoons vehicles that loosely translates to "F#@k yoU FoBbits!

Any person who is in the military, but who when deployed, stays on tha FOB (forward Operating Base) and never crosses the wire where it's actaully dangerous. Mostly used in a derogatory fashion by those who actually do risk their lives. Most Marines and Soldiers aren't fobbits. Most of the Air Force are fobbits except for Vehicle Operators.(Go Veh Ops!!!!!), Security Forces and special forces. And the Navy well who cares about tha navy theyre all gay anyway.
Vehicle operator:

SSgt Barnes:

(noun) a person who is short and is of foreign origin by birth, usually native to Asia.

Etymology: an Asian immigrant = "FRESH OFF the BOAT", abbreviated "FOB" + "Hobbit", coined by J.R.R. Tolkien to mean "a member of a fictitious peaceful and genial race of small humanlike creatures that dwell underground"
That fobbit is good in math.
