basically a fob in aus is someone who wasnt born here.. doesnt have anythign to do with the accent.. my hubby doesnt have one at all. If he's on the phone, peopel think he's from europe... i on the other hand end up having a typical accent when i start speaking to my daughter.. and Ive no idea why... even my dad doesnt have an accent.. my mums got a greek accent (cus she spent most of her worklife with greeks.. LOL!)
PunchingMonk.. are u referritn to me? I dont think we've interacted enough to build some type of judgement.. :) but from ur posts.. u seem like a very intelligent lad, Mashallah se

I also think Punching Monk is an intelligent and nice person.
I'm married to a kind of fobster, he is the coolest!
Yes he has an accent still, but he is very liberal minded, very helpful & co-operative, kind and clever, and gives respect where respect is due.
If he wasn't a fob i wouldn't have even half the knowledge of pakistan as i do now. Also, bcos some of his family r in paks, it gives us a good base to visit there often.
thats excatly how i feel :)
im engaged to someone from pakistan nd i love going bak there
so now wen i get married/// i'll be going more often!

^not good for my reputation.
sadzz don't you worry, I wasn't referring to you.
I have seen so many evil ppl in my life; I know , despite little differences , ppl on GS are very good ppl.
I don't really mean the things I usually say.

hahahaha cute.
when I said bad ppl i didnt mean, I meant real bad.
We don't want to talk about that!!
My life didn't get effected in any way,
I learned to recognize/respect good ppl.
^ well thats the best way to come out of it :) forgetting the people who are cruel and respecting the ones that deserve the attention or just some appreciation.

Well more important is to defend your self and family and stuff. My family is in pakistan. I know being vulnerable in a society can invite crime and aggression.
It takes more force to protect and have you ways unchanged , then it takes to become a troublemaker.
I dont use the term because I have had friends that get upset at being called that by others. I just dont think its a nice thing to call someone.
I completely agree with you on this one because usually people use the term in a demeaning manner
to the person who started the thread I know what you mean by cringing when people say "i don't want to marry a fob" in your face.... both me and my fiance were not born in the west, but I've been living here for more than a decade and my fiance has been out of pakistan for a while as well, yet people still make it seem like either me or him are fobs as if the world has ended
If people have personal preferences don't voice them in a negative manner towards the other person because it is extremely rude
to be honest fresheez bring alot of negativity on to themselves by the way they are ..things is when people encounter a few who r pricks they start thinking all freshees r that wayy
