fobbit
n.— «Administrative specialists who never leave the fob are known, with some condescension, as fobbits. Like every soldier here, a fobbit could be killed at any time by a random rocket or mortar round. But on most days the greatest danger to a fobbit’s health are the three heaping, deep-fried daily portions of mess hall food.» —“Comforts Of Home Amid Perils Of Iraq” by David Zucchino Los Angeles Times Mar. 27, 2005.
