Shouldn’t it be “a FOB”? As in “You’re such a FOB”?
Where’s TomHill when we need him?
I do declare that he was the coiner of such phrase.
Buttercup once had an wistful definition of same, but i fail to recall the exact diction.
It means “Free on Board”. For example, if, From Taiwan, you ship a container of laptops to a company in, say, Costa Rica, then you must pay for the laptops to be picked up, driven and loaded onto the ship/plane.

Shouldn’t it be “a FOB”? As in “You’re such a FOB”?[/quote]Depends if it’s an acronym or not. So how is “FOB” pronounced?
The use of “a” or “an” does depend on the user’s accent, such as if they pronounce the h in “hour”, and either would be acceptable there.
