I use the term FOB for those newly arrived expats who immediately head to the Mid-Levels for flat hunting (they been told it's 'the place' expats live). I have expanded it to other terms such as FOB estate agents (those who have chosen to work with FOBs with their Mid-Levels flat hunts).

These HK FOBs can be identified by their announcements about what they have found in HK which they assume no one else has ever seen before, e.g. Look at these funny things, they're called mooncakes.
