FOB cards

[CruX]

i wasn't able to find an website, but there is this so called expresspay card reffered to as the "FOB" card. It is an acromyn but i still find it offensive just because they call it a fob card. what if they had a CHINK card?

what r ur thoughts?

[nonamerasian]

Could it be "fob" as in pocket?

Pocket card?

[ism]

Yeah, sounds more like that tiny pocket. Should be about as offensive as "niggardly."

The small pocket is called a "fob?" Didn't know that. What an odd thing to call it.

Odd, considering you're YW's resident Anglophile.

Hmmm...well...my "general knowledge" reserves have been running frightfully low. Heh.

The term fob is used consistently in my accounting class also. acronym for freight on boat or something like that.

what do you mean by "expresspay card"? from my memory of accounting classes, the term 'FOB' is a shipping/freight term in accounting. it stands for Free On Board, and i think it means that the seller pays for the freight costs.

oh, lookie here...
