Does FOB stand for fresh off the boat? Sorry, I'm not too up to date with these terms.

I live in Hawaii, where pretty much everyone is Asian or some mixture of cultures. It's like a big melting pot, so I've never been called that. I think I would be offended if I went to the mainland (the 48 contiguous states) and was called a FOB.

hm.. yea it does. A LOT.

so i just rant on about how i'm FRESH OFF THE PLANE and NOT THE BOAT and tell them how lifeless they are and has a problem of lack of brain oxygen so they turn out to be very slow in learning
and then tell them i forgive them for their stupidity.

and then they just stand there looking at me.

I'm born in Houston, so they can't call me a FOB. lol And it doesn't bother me because I'm that type of person that always has something to say back. :D

For example. "Ching chong ching chong. Oh, look I'm speaking Chinese."
Me: Okay, if you're going to mock my language, can you at least make a better impression of it? cuz ching chong ching chong aint one of them.

Something like that. Just talk back. :D

Haha dont worry Lo.. i dont care if u do.

--------------------------------------------------------

Hum.. no one has really called me a fob unless it was a joke even though I was born in HK and i speak cantonese to some friends a lot. I wouldn't really care if they did though, cause my parents would prob. be considered a fob too. In fact, one of my friends think im fobilicious because all the fobs like me. laugh.gif

I call other kids fobs tho.. mellow.gif And most of them only because they were BORN HERE and they still act like one. I mean, everyone around you speaks english, and you weren't even born there so you shouldnt even BE considered a "fresh off the boat'' but you act like one.. it just bugs me

Well, It's sort of the opposite for me, alot of people assume I'm Korean or Japanese, but that's a different story.

Anyways, it doesn't really bother me, unless someone is being racist about and and says something like "Your such a FOB, you chink/gook/ect." and if they actually MEAN that, then i'll get pissed, but most of the time everyone says it jokingly. Heck! I even call people FOBs and they know I'm joking about it, b/c I <3 FOBs to death happy.gif

wow. you look korean, :]
