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.
