frob

/frob/ 1. n. [MIT; very common] The TMRC definition was FROB = a protruding
arm or trunnion ; by metaphoric extension, a frob is any random small thing;
an object that you can comfortably hold in one hand; something you can frob
(sense 2). See frobnitz. 2. vt. Abbreviated form of frobnicate. 3. [from the
MUD world] A command on some MUDs that changes a player's experience level
(this can be used to make wizards); also, to request wizard privileges on
the professional courtesy grounds that one is a wizard elsewhere. The
command is actually frobnicate but is universally abbreviated to the shorter
form.
