The phrase fresh off the boat (FOB), or just off the boat (OTB), is sometimes-derogatory terms used to describe immigrants who have arrived from a foreign nation and have yet to assimilate into the host nation's culture, language, and behavior, but still continue with their ethnic ideas and practices. Within Asian-American circles in the United States, the phrase is considered politically incorrect and derogatory.
