[edit] Removed Useless Acronym

I removed an acronym for a Counter-Strike clan, as this is obviously not in widespread use and thus doesn't really belong on the disambaguation page. 162.53.103.225 03:18, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Freight On Board

This should be "free on board". Obviously this person who wrote: "freight on board" has no clue about international nor domestic shipment transactions.

Since there are so many meanings for this term, should we turn this into a disambiguation page? 76.64.185.147 03:27, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, this IS a disambig page, although a badly written one which needs some cleanup, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). NPalmius 00:12, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

If it is used by a subpopulation (Desi) of a subpopulation (students) of a single municipality (Toronto), than Fresh off Bloor is too obscure. Moc.aidepikiw 17:14, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ghetto FoBulous

People who are FoBBy and ghetto...e.g. speaks no english, greasy hair, listens to hip-hop music, wears tacky large jewelery/gold chains with large pendant representing his/her FoBBineSS, 20" rims on a Toyota Camry with large decal on rear window. Acts as though his "fobness" is non-existing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MRattu (talk • contribs) 04:08, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
