Who here is a F.O.B?

what's an f.o.b.? is it somethinf for asians? sorry i live and grew up in a community that consist nothing of asian people.

FOB : Fresh of the Boat.

A term for asians that werent borne in the US

im an "american muscle." :]
but im korean though. i can speak and write it fluently :] ( well i have some sp. errors, but who cares? )

i'm a f.o.b hahahah

but i thought f.o.b meant fresh of the bihanggi?(airplane in korean)

so i just asked people online since my neighborhood is really ghetto. lol bunch of hispanics and black! bla, i LOVE my neighborhood! haha! well i asked several people online, and they said fobs are those asian people that speak english funny and dresses like someone who just came to america. example; those tourist from disneyland that i see everyday. ( i live pretty damn close to disneyland california, 10 min walk and 2 min. drive)

i never heard that before.

I heard "Fresh off the boat"

"ABC" American born Chinese

And other lingo. i think its stupid. Other asian dude made fun of me when I didn't know what FOB meant. I'm like so what and No shiz... U a fob, maybe that's y u know.

I erhmm was a F.O.B. like 5 years ago.
I'm now a banana. Ask everyone.

Erg, people who are older than me, my half sister's friend s(they're like 25+ years old) say I talk like a white girl because I don't talk as if I'm somewhat a little fobbish. ABC.. American Born Chinese? Is that like CHinese people who act too Americanized? Because if so, I guess I'm an ABC too

hoom i guess i'm a fob but not.. literally xP
well i have lived here.. 6 years now? but i still have a lot of attachment to korea :]
n i like krn entertainment a lot better keke

woah..i never knew of this "term" since bount a few mnths ago when i started HS...they call me a "coconut" cuz i mostly hang out with other races n cuz they think im white washed lol

Naw.

My friend said ABC was "Chinese born in America" Or, Chinese american, but ABC is shorter.

These things are stupid like I said. they got like ABV, CBA. And I am like, you guys are just trying to be cool with ur own lingo...

i was fob for couple of years. but i think i lived in the us long enough so yeah. call me whatever u want though haha idc

You guys make it sound so tragic to be a FOB. FOBs are COOL!!!! XD

Go FOBs!!

man i wish i was a fob. im so into fob stuff, yet im a mango (yes, a mixed colored mango... im like green, red, yellow, peach on the outside, yellow in the inside LMAO im like all race washed... )

man... i agree FOBS are awesome. or at least some are...

after a FOB has been living in the US for many years, his status should be changed to a BOB...Been Off the Boat.

i'm not a f.o.b. at least i dunt think i am

Not me, but until now I never knew what it meant. lols

im not but ppl always say i am

F.O.B means Fine Oriental Bitches


=edit=
umm y is this in Entertainment again? It should be in Lounge

I thought this was about fall out boy.

Hahah, how funny...

*i was born in taiwan, i 've been here for a while, came when i was 6 :-p

im not an FOB but there are a lot of FOB's here in hawaii!! even at my h.s when i was still in h.s....i love them all!

jackie

I am a F.O.B and proud...

aka F*ck off B*tch [=

This guy told me that FLIP meant F*cking Little Island People.

Back to topic: F.O.B. = Freaky Obese Babies. :shrugs:

- Chinkieeyedpnoi

I was seriously offended my the FLIP term but its hella tru! i am a F*cking little island person. but im not a Freaky Obese Baby. im not even near fat.

i'm not .. i'm as americanized as they get

I'm FLIP & A FOB. HAHAHAHAH! Okay.. I think I'm fat, am I?

f.o.b. = fresh off the boat. that's what it really stands for..
flip = ..i never though it stood for anything.. but i know its means your filipino :D

and many people don't know this.. because if you're chinese and you call yourself a 'chink' its like being african american and calling youself 'nigga' =\

Fresh of the Boat?

ME!
i`ve only be here, 1 year
is my english bad??

Nope, not at all. I'm a FOB as well-- except I've only been here for like 3 years and like 3 months. Am I good at english? I don't think so.

weirded. when i first move to canada like 7 yrs ago i was a thru and thru banana. and even since i graduated to h.s 4 years ago i turn f.o.b again . must be all the chinks in our school actaully i think our whole city is run by chinese...

f.o.b. is a term for asians that weren't born in american AND talk like this, for instance if i'm trying to say "mother fcuker or the trees are on fire" if i was a fob i'd say "moder pocker, or deh threhs ish on pire!"

chinks is a bad term for chinese.
aaaaaaaaaand abc.. yes it means that you were born chinese and became americanized.

to my understanding

f.o.b - fresh off the boat. Asian that refuses intergrate into the western society. They hangout with their own group of asain friends, dress in the lastest asian fashion (or not the lastest). Only speak english when they have to and when do speak they speak with an accent. favorite past time would be stuff like karaoke, drinking bubble tea etc.

a.b.c and c.b.c - american born chinese and canadian born chinese. This does not necessary refer to thoese born in USA or CAN it mean asians that are so white-wash that they prefer speaking english to their native tongue, usually have perfect english. They dress western style and hang out with peeps of different race. favorite past time would be watching the latest blockbuster, going to starbucks etc...

of course this is just the common stereotype. there are many local sterotypes attach to these name.. such as where i live f.o.b are stereotype as rich and rude.

I'm a fob...Well was, been here since '96. That's like 8 years now...People say I'm not the usual fob...Supposedly I'm quote whitewashed endquote LoL. Uhh I still looove bubble tea and would dress like a fob occasionally, but most of the time I look like a quote ABC endquote and act like one too LoL. But yeah, it's bad to stereotype! Get to know the person first...

.....heh.... a lot of ppls cuss...but they dont spell it right...and they are not even warned...........interesting....wow even people staff do it too...............interesting... newais.... ima FOB!! lols... i act like koreans...lols koreans usually...when they laugh...they hit ppls hard...lols i do that a lot........haha some ppls get sick of it..like the ppls who are not fob get sick of it...also i laugh and cover my mouth... also when i laugh... i get down and start crackin'....heh.... also when u wear like asian styles....that means u are a fob.... like sooo asian styles...also hmm.............. im tryin to list it.......lols... uhhh..........

Desi (Indian)

I'm confused.. There are too many terms... Sometimes, when I'm bored, I put on a filipino accent for fun and call my friends...

i agree with the definition... its so true... well i'm a cbc (chinese born canadian) and where i live, toronto, ontario... theres a lot of Fob's here... aswell a lot of chinese ppl, its seriously over populated with a lot really rich ppl from HK...

im a FLIP n a F.O.B too. but the definition of F.O.B. im used to is the one that saes asian not born in america.

im definatly not a fob.

One of my best friends is a FOB ... he laughs funny ... once he asked me if i thought he was FOB-ish .. i said NO just so he wont feel bad LOL

hahaha i went to hk4 for the chinese news years thing. free fooood.

i hate to admit it but i probably am a fob...i dont really think i shud consider myself it..but i did born in my country < korea > but i came to america when i was like 3 yrs old. and i speak english very well. lol and i barely can speeak my own language < korean > fob is fresh off the boat right? lol yupp my friend's cousin thought it meant FABOLOUS ORIENTAL BOY

lols fabolous oriental boy... i heard that from eugene yun hahahaha...lols newais ay... ur not a fob...............liar... u said u hate FOB PPLS!! l0ls gosh jenny...tell da truth...l0ls hahaha 아잉~

I'm turning out fobbish sometimes.. cuase my bf sometimes says things funny and well you know how it is. When you ahng out with someone, they start to rub off their habits or what they say off on you. LoL. Of course, he's not really fobbish, just like sometimes he says things that sound fobbish.. sometimes =P

I know this one guy who came here from Taiwan last year .. when he says Festival, it sounds like Fastiffol .. lolz
