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.
