FOBS (fresh off the boat) Options

[xenosaga]

do you have alot of them around your school? everytime i pass by there's alot of them, surrounding my hang-out.

[Pulchritude]

yea a lot in San Francisco! but i feel bad for them cuz they get picked on when its not there fault they they come from a different country.. so i dont tease "fobs" but if they say something bout me its on

[ItzOnlySydney]

That is a very rude word to say. But, yes they are people from other countries at my school.

btw please use the search button i believe there is already a topic on this =)

[D1SMANTLED]

hey, I live in the city with the biggest vietnamese population outside of vietnam. Of course there are many fobs around where I live. Most annoy me, but I can't blame them. They're just like newbs to cb. Heh.

[xenosaga]

sorry if it did sounded rude...but i dont tease them...like what azn.peace.maker said, it is sad to see them getting treated badly, because of their accents, etc.

[miszSERENiTY]

lol. at lunch they have their own little table and sit there and play cards ahah.

[dani41790]

no but like majority of my school is asian

[tooeffingcrazy]

Fobs are cool and nice (:. I'm not a fob though, but people say i talk like one -.-

[Im So Vain]

yea a lot in San Francisco! but i feel bad for them cuz they get picked on when its not there fault they they come from a different country.. so i dont tease "fobs" but if they say something bout me its on 

yeah i see a lot in Frisco too and China Town in Oakland. But hey I cant h8 cuz my parents are from another country too. I havent noticed any at my school though.

[smilz2dasun]

they're are ...no asians at my school. okay. there are.. but only like a lil handful. did you know that i had never heard of the term 'fobs' until i got on createblog?

[xenosaga]

Fobs are cool and nice (:. I'm not a fob though, but people say i talk like one -.-

ya they are nice too..im asian but i'm kind of glad i dont have the "accent" ^ wow thats interesting to hear...ya some friends of mines, when i talk to them online, never heard of terms like fobs, and such...here in where i live, we have alot of terms like (jafjaf, kakanuk, zories!)

[xSiLLyMex]

Yea. We have a lot of Korean Fobs at our school. They have there own lil group dat speaks Korean to each other. I feel bad..cuz the white ppl discriminate against them. But then its because they shout in Korean to each other wen they talk. >.< But I'm frends with one of them.

[xenosaga]

ya but its so sad how some *fobs* get treated like that..its like they are a racist to them or something...they should stop that. racism doesnt happen no more....(i think)

[DaTru KataLYST]

Kenny, Gal has a lot of fobs. I see them during dragonboat practice. They crack THE best jokes in Chinese.

[Pulchritude]

God Jeff! haha i wanna learn some new chinese jokes to tell to my mom.. haha yea but theres fobs in like every school in San Francisco.. People tease them cuz they dress funny and dont have much for a American taste but who can blame them..Changing is hard.. Just imagine you moving to a different country and people teasing u cuz of what u wear and how u talk! yea and my mom taught me not to tease people u dont even know.. my mom was considered a fob when she was born in America! loook how pathetic that is..

[xenosaga]

^ ya true! it is hard for the new people in the neighborhood

[sandy_lumpy_shor...]

i'm not sure what a fob is but i'm guessing its someone not from USA but yeah we haev them. but the "fobs" at our school are so stuck up and think that they can cut in front of everyones just cuz they dont know english well you wrong BUDDY!

[xenosaga]

^ haha that' funny...ya i see that alot....thinking they are all bad ... lmao

[*salcha*]

heck yes, there are always a ton of viet and chinese people who can't speak english. and it's kinda funny, cuz i understand chinses too, so i always know what they're talking about/
today in biology, this guy in front of me walked in all disgusted and was like, "I HATE FOBS. Especially those viet ones when they have five people walk in a line straight acrosse the hallways so i can't get through."
haha, i just sat there laughing.

oh yeah, and the teachers always make me translate for them too (during PE, everyone has to take it including them)
...fun

[WhiteLotus*]

Haha! Yea, we have very little in my school.
My good friend Louie is a fob.
And then I call some Mexicans fobs cause they're Fresh Off Border ( since I live in California)
Ack. That was a tad bit mean.

ya about the five in a line...i get that alot when they pass by me sometimes it irritates me and they take their sweet time too

[demolished]

i would said the amount of fobs is close to " ALOT " .. previous fobs usually has more respect then recent fobs .. thats what i experience at my school. i'm surround mostly by recent fobs and they piss me off but they're still good.

[xenosaga]

^its all good! but yeah, they still do annoy me sometimes

[whomps]

Fabulous Oriental Beings? Oh yes, a bunch of them.

A big number of our badminton team can speak cantonese, so I always yell out random things in cantonese to make some heads turn. It's fun.

And when my friend Ivy goes "YVOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNE!!" really loud, I yell back "MUTT YEH - AHHHHHHHHH?!?!?!" and she doesn't even speak cantonese.

[HongKongDong]

F.o.B in the house! Oh yeah! M.s.G in the house! Oh yeah! Are you off the boat?! Oh yeah! Frreeeesh off the boat?! Hell yeah! So fresh! So proud to be fresh off the boat for life!

Sorry, I just like the song. Yeah I know a couple of F.o.B's at school, not much though. Must of them were born and raised here =/

[yukichan]

almost everyone at my school is asian or from a pacific nation..its kinda rare to c a full white person at my school..maybe b/c it hawaii..

[lilnatcat]

Yea, in Australia, my school in particular got lots of overseas students especially from Hong Kong. My school is the kind where its fully multicultural but asians dominate the place especially the Chinese~
Well.....considering the place I hang out is mainly just Asians asians asians(85% Cantonese), I'm not suprised that they're there. And well everybody talks and introduces each other to one another and we all end up talking cantonese, its just automatic........but one of us ends up translating it back to my frds who don't understand Cantonese.

[*Weird addiction*]

Im not sure what a fob is but i think i am one

When i first arrived in belgium i didnt speak french nor dutch and i went to a public school, and i found out that MANY people didnt speak french, they were like me, hehe. Anyways, i learnt french in 10 months, 15 hours a day and i speak it almost perfectly.

Not all "fobs" are annoying, at least i wasnt

[Shattered_Hope]

not really, no....

[racoons > you]

yeah there are loads in huntingdon (nearest semi-large town)

i was a (psuedo)american fob in britain, and that was bad enough... god knows what woulda happened if i hadnt been able to speak english

[xsweetxcandyx]

My schoool has many FOBS.. i don't really talk to most of them, they have their own little groups...

[FilipinoFaShow]

[twelveislands]

Now i'm in college and theres about 10/15 of them in a college of about 12,000. Hmm

[IamRad]

[slipper]

i'm a F.O.P.

but yes, their are 'fobs' at my school. some get teased, also nerds/geeks too.

[*jooleeah*]

I love fobs. They're cool.

That is a very rude word to say. But, yes they are people from other countries at my school.

Haha, you're one to talk.

[laur3nw]

There aren't a LOT, but there's some, and of course they all hang out around the same spot. =P

[xenosaga]

^ ya thats how it is in my school

[aZNbLUMUNKEEbUTT]

ehhh yah kinda..they hang out in groups..but the funny thing is how they always try to start things with everyone..-__- ooh &some fob guy stalks me too -___- so yah..most of the chinese ones that i know are annoying..the korean ones are pretty cool

[miss barnes]

no, not at my school. my school is mostly black

[SKDMNLE]

yup lots of korean ones. me and my friends made up a thing for them last year. we were stupid then. ._.

[bravodancer04]

Not really, but my cousin`s friend flo, he moved here from albanian, and he doesnt have a green card lmao, and it gets better, his dad gambles for one LMAO!...well i thought it was funny..

[nightsong]

That is a very rude word to say.

That's funny coming from a person who practically throws around the words: "fag" and "gay" as if they were actually degrading.

edit: Damnit, someone beat me to it.

xo, Pauline
