It stands for: Way Off the Boat... as contrast to Fob = fresh off the boat. An immigrant or Fob that has been living in a country they have migrated to for a significant amount of time, meaning he/she has been WAY off the boat. Enough to speak their language almost fluently, and very well assimilated and aware of their culture, trend and interests, yet still retaining that of their native ones. With this, Wobs are able to fit in nicely with both social clicks of their native Fobs and that of the new country. All Wobs were once Fobs. But not all Fobs will be able to become Wobs if they don't branch out to other people outside of their native culture/click.
