frob
/frob/ 1. n. [MIT] 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. 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.
