    Dang... talk about being hyper-sensitive. I have tons of friends who refer to themselves as being fobby, so this wasn't such a big deal to me. I'll change it if it offends you so much.

    But sorry... it still doesn't belong in the Got Deals forum.

    oh, pipe down, grimany...
    FOB is nowhere near as offensive as either of those ethnic slurs, and besides...the offendability of all of those slurs should, in my opinion, depend on the manner in which it was said. If Leon said "Fuck those god damned FOBs; why don't they just go back to Asia!" then I'd understand being upset...but not over this.

    My roommate (who is one of my best friends) and I always joke about stuff like this, as do most people. I'll regularly walk into our room and say "What's up Wetback?" (he's mexican) and he'll respond with "Not too much, Kraut" (i'm german). Neither of us end up offended. Some people don't view the world in this same light-hearted manner...and if you're one of them, I pity you. You're cursing yourself to a lifetime of offense and whining.

    Just think before you bitch. Did Leon intend to hurt you?

    that was a new one on me too. Why, in my day, ***** and slant eyes was good enough, we didn't need to make up new ones. Kids these days.

    Of course, I'm a wop, so what do I know.

    What we call ourselves doesn't matter. What those words mean to us does. ***** some day could someday mean the very best, but it doesn't, it hurts. Same with most others.

    You, sir, are laughable.

    First of all, many things can be described as "fobbish" or "fobby" without labelling it in a derogatory fashion. I reserve the right, however, to make as much fun as I want to of a) anything from a goddamn Sanrio store and b) any cartoon with characters with eyes larger than their hands.

    You are incredibly sensitive about fobbish nature. Either you feel slighted in some way by we "mainlanders" (or consulting ProMinx's database, ABC's), or you're fighting a fight no-one's really interested in. Either way, considering the context, you're way out of line, and therefore should go and fuck yourself.

    BTW, LPM, considering the number of Asians in Minny, I'm shocked and amazed that you haven't heard the term FOB. You gotta get outta the house more often.

    And isn't wop spelled "whop"? Kind of like half a whopper? I could be wrong...

    Wonderful grimani. Leon may not have been right in saying that, but you could said something about it in a less inflamatory manner, whether it be in a post or by email. grimani is the little bitch who immediately cried about censorship when there was none. Its apparent he has a learning problem because posting this insultive thread in the got deals was wrong. My advice to you is to thread lightly around these forums.

    ok...Yes i heard of Fres Off the Boat, but I have never heard of it refered to as FOB. I assumes it had to do strictly with asians, because of a post previos to mine.


    as for the spelling of WOP its W O P not whop (as in whopper)

    It stands for With Out Papers



    as for you people taking offense to the slurs...get the fuck over it you

    No you are getting WOP confused with WASP

    WOP --> With Out Papers (italian)
    WASP --> White Anglo Saxon Protestant (typically english)

    It's strange how different FOBS are than ABC's. It's like we're two different races altogether. Ooops sorry, did I say FOB? Oh man, I better go fuck myself now, huh grimani. What's wrong with saying FOB? My cousin refers to himself jokingly as a FOB all the time. Quit actin like a fobby bitch.

    grimani grow yourself a thicker layer of skin! Overly sensitive people have got to be the most annoying out there.

    -Oh no, they're praying inside the school, someone go stop them.
    -Oh no you don't, just because I'm black you're not going to cheat me out of more lettuce. (Complaining about lettuce? Complain about the service but not about not having more lettuce!!!!)
    -Oh no, he drives a Civic, let's go ticket his ass for doing 70 in a 65 zone.
    -Oh no, I'm so special, but everyone picks on me. (Grow UP!)

    Maybe you should just stay inside so that no one can slight you. Go get a life.

    My grandfather was a hard working napoleatan WOPFOB AND I AM DAMN PROUD OF IT. He busted his ass to keep our family going and for that I am thankful. If HALF you idiots who piss and moan about this crap worked as hard as some of those FOB/WOP/MICK ETC's did back at the turn of the last century-this world would be a better place. I MAKE A SUGGESTION that GRIMANI go shit in his hat. (and this is coming from an old gal who has lived in ALOT of places).

    Angry melting pot my ass

    I'm appalled at the bigoty, idiocy, and total lack of class shown by almost everyone in this thread!

    I'm not generally one to get offended by off-color remarks regarding race, creed, and whatnot, but the word fob IS a derogatory term. If someone is upset by it, show a wee bit of class and respect and not use it. Don't act like complete *******s and give him shit about it, because all you're doing is trying to justify intolerance, which is bullshit.

    I know for many of the southeast asian communities in the Bay Area, there is a fair bit of animosity between new immigrants and their 2nd generation or more naturalized brethren. Fob is commonly used as a VERY derogatory term in these circles. This could be true in other parts of the country as well. So please do everyone else a favor and use your little brains a bit before you go piling on someone FOR ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD REASON AT ALL!!!

    grrr...

    Its unfortunate that so many here are so juvenile to think that type of post is cool. Grow the hell up! Allowing things like that will quickly turn a good bbs into a known bad one.

    Oh, so now you're going to tell me what a good BBS is? If ya ask me, this board itself has morphed a number of times, and it still seems to be a place you come to. Typical Republican: always trying to tell someone else how to think!

    P.S.: http://sbp777777.homestead.com/files...cpartyseal.jpg is pretty clever! Next time, though, you should use a picture of a human baby!
