/frob/ 1. [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. Abbreviated form of {frobnicate}.

3. [{MUD}] 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.
