foob
n.— «Foob, everyone’s favorite made-up Canadian slang word, made an appearance in today’s FBOFW. True comics devotees know that, unlike January’s now infamous made-up sex slang, foob has an origin that was actually depicted in the strip: it’s a portmanteau that April and her 4 Evah bandmates created by combining fool and boob.» —“Metapost: Odds, ends, and foobery” by Josh Fruhlinger Comics Curmudgeon Mar. 23, 2005.
