I’m declaring every idea in this thread racist. Some sexist. Generally culturally inappropriate.

Why is this forum called the Flob? What’s the story?

I love the mascot!!
Is there a plan to integrate the stickers into the forum itself?

Can’t even get an answer to why this forum is called Flob.
Also, no one it seems is spending a measly 1-2k per plate on a full Xmas night out.
I’m starting to think there is not much action here on the “Flob”
Prove me wrong
A poster called tomhill called it the flob. It means spit in British slang.

No, it was tomhill. Defo.
Here’s some history @Andrew0409
This is the first recorded usage on forumosa.com that has survived. The rather blase usage in a weblink suggests that the usage already had some currency at the time.
In what sense? Banking or Internet?[/quote]
T’internet, and more particularly, here, at flob.com .
It was in use off of the site at this time presumably, and it would be impossible to say who first thought of it from this. It started to become widely used on the site without fanfare in 2007. This seems to be the first “meta” mention
Can someone please explain the history of the term ‘flob’ as a reference to this here site?
Is it from an IRL meeting? or from a thread? if thread, please link.
thanks
