In New Zealand, it is a word to describe Pacific Islanders that came straight from the Islands and cant talk any english such as Samoans, Tongans and Fijians.
Two or three generations before me, Pacific Islanders came to New Zealand in banana boats and had no knowledge of the english language or culture so thats what I think "Fresh off the boat" means
The Word 'Fob' can be derogatory, if used by MAINLY(not all) white people but those of Pacific decent that were New Zealand born use it to differentiate between themselves (who are called "Plastic") and people that come from the Islands that cant talk english.
M: look at that girl, is she a fob
Y: yeah, didn't you hear her. She has broken english.

Verb. The act of crying to, for, over, or because of the band Fall Out Boy. The occurrence of sobbing uncontrollably to FOB's music was happening enough that it deserved it's own word. It is not uncommon to 'fob', especially when seeing FOB live.
Person 1: Any Fall Out Boy song is great to make out to, except for 'What a Catch, Donnie', because no one wants to make out while crying.
Person 2: You mean no one wants to make out while fobbing? Yeah, no kidding.
