$ dict -d jargon frob
1 definition found
>From Jargon File (4.0.0/24 July 1996) [jargon]:
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 (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.
