You are a FOB if....


My niece and father were having a discussion, and she mentioned FOBs. My father asked the question, what makes a FOB? You are a fob if u dont use deo, you think by brushing your teeth alone (not cleaning tongue and no mouthwash) will take care of your halitosis etc
add on with suggestions...You are a fob if...

Zztoppz: Excellent point! Let's not point fingers at those not born here like us; it is prejudicial for sure.

yea this is so stupid - i have lived in 3 different countries and had paki friends born and raised in those three countries - never more than in the US have i encountered non native-pakis who are so obsessed with "fobs"/"abcd" classification - one would think being born and raised and educated in arguably the worlds most diverse and powerful country would have taught them a thing or two - but no...

Labs: I moved to the US when I was 10...so I guess we are semi FOBS...btw, I do take some napkins to my work, so I can have my lunch at the desk and not worry about finding napkins.....with ketchup, I keep them around too because its hard to fetch it when you are at work. Also, I speak Urdu all the time with my desi friends and family...does that make me a FOB? I just think that being a FOB has to do a lot with someone's thinking not so much by their actions...
