frob
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.
