Okay,

So You were very very very close! It means free on board. Here is the definition! I researched this and i found this on a website for definitions of abreviations!

Free on Board. Indicates that all delivery, inspection and elevation or loading costs involved in putting commodities on board a carrier have been paid.

So there you have it. That's probably what it meant if it was on a package or something you got via mail, or delivery. If it was on a tshirt, chances are it was a shirt for my favorite band, fall out boy. You can see why fob would stand for fall out boy. Fall Out Boy. In fact i am wearing a fall out boy shirt now, but fob never means freight on board. Sorry i just had to add in the fall out boy part........: ) If you want to do further research you can go to this website it is a Google one and it has definitions:

So just copy and paste into the address bar to go to it! hope this helps!
