What's a FOB???

Yeah, I know FOB means "Fresh Off the Boat" but there are so many different definitions... what's the RIGHT definition???

So far, I've heard three definitions

-dresses rich, drives a nice car, acts rich... but really, just depends on mom and dad for money

-trying to smoke, do drugs, acohol... basically ghetto

-doesn't know how to dress, English sucks, tries to be cool


so what's the real definition?

those are DEFINITIONS of fobs. those are wat people generalize about fobs they know or they've seen. not all fobs wear brand name clothes or drive nice cars or speak bad english. I WAS ONCE I FOB... i know.. some fobs (fresh off the boat) speak good english becuz some countries are english-speaking countries. they just have accents dats all.

don't we only refer Koreans as fobs?
i dont think they necessarily have to be rich, or drive nice cars
maybe just recently come from korea/only hangs out with koreans

no. people here think fobs are asian people who speak english with an accent.
but the way i interpret "fob" is by one being from a different country who speaks the country's language with an accent. so..if we were to all visit Spain for a month and we tried to speak Spanish, we would be fobs to them becuz we speak their native language with an accent, however, i guess "fob" is an "asian" term/slang.

I agree Eddie... buh mebbe not just in America

and I thought FOB's were generalized for ALL asians, not just Koreans... because Hmongs get called FOBs too... hmm

i think those are generalizations and stereotypes. i don't even think FOB is listed under the dictionary; it's just a term some people coined
