Someone please provide definitions of each category. What qualities make you a FOB vs ABCD. I am not sure what I am. I was born in Pakistan, but raised in US. Neither a fob, neither american born, and surely I am not confused.
you are a transplant..
fob is somsoen who just showed up from the old country
transplant is someone who moved here at an early age so they may be cd but not ab.
a sob is someone who arrived as a fob, has been here for long nuff that can not be considered 'fresh' off teh boat..so they are stale off the boat
a vob, veteran off the boat is someone who was a fob at one time but now is fairly unfobbi-fied and in some cases more american than abcds, and in some cases not...
then you have hybrids like meself.
you also have ppl likle firenze who are abfobcd, american born fresh off teh boat confused desi, these are ab who were transplanted to the old country and then moved back here.
