I think it is First on Board. But for making sure, of course you can easily searching about the definition by googling it. With an additional key "defini:" you absolutely can easily finding the mean of something. Some countries, or perhaps some culture perhaps might have different abbreviation for that words, but of course there's an international trading abbreviation which also used in all countries. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

i believe the term 'fresh off the boat' originally referred to 'the boat people' who were refugees and came to the US by boat. now the term has expanded to include all immigrants i.e. those who weren't born in the US (particularly asians). i don't know if any other country uses the same term. you supposedly can identify them by the way they dress, act, and sometimes even the way they look,all of which are 'unamerican.' i know it's a rather derogatory and stereotypical term, and i don't like it myself. but it has nothing to do with wearing.owning something made in china.

I think it's another word for immigrants, or people that weren't born in the US. I looked it up in the dictionary and it's of course a slang word. The definition says this: "fresh off the boat; as gullible and trusting as a new immigrant." It also states that it's a play on the initials of the actual FOB, which is free on board. I know that we use it a lot for Asians. I've never heard of it being used for any other race but Asians. I think that FOB is meant more for the Asian race than any other even though it does say 'immigrant' which can be any person from any other country, but I guess we're really just too use to using FOB towards Asian immigrants.

In our country,China,it refers to new migrants that they don't know the new country's custom,culture and language,so the local people laugh at them F.O.B.
