What, you don’t know what fobbing is?In this age of spam filters and porn blockers, how do we start a piece on Ellen Sussman’s Dirty Words: A Literary Encyclopedia of Sex? Carefully.

Read the rest of this short piece from The Very Short List. This site is always worth a visit.
So what IS "fobbing"? Even with Safe Search turned off, my pruriently curious friends and I are unable to find a definition online.
