-The term '''Frob''' has typically been used to refer to any small device or object (usually hand-sized) which can be manipulated, or '''''frobbed'''''.  It was adopted by the community of computer programmers which grew out of the [[MIT]] [[Tech Model Railroad Club]] in the 1950s.  ''Frob'' is among the oldest existing words in [[hacker (computing)|hacker]] jargon, as reported in the [[Jargon File]].

-The term can refer both to the object being frobbed (''"Hand me that frob there, willya?"'') indicating the manipulation of a frob or as an actual verb (''"Hey, frob the switch."'') indicating actual frobbing of an object.
-The verb form is also seen as '''frobnicate''', though this is little-used.
