(Theory) Why some foreigners never leave the flob

Forum rules
We hope that the Living in Taiwan forum will be of value to you and others. To ensure this, please note:

It is best to capitalize topics and to avoid vague titles. “Hi, I’m new” and “Help please” are examples of bad titles.

Before posting, please check the FAQ thread, and – more importantly – use the search function to ensure that your topic has not been discussed before and that there is not an existing thread you could update with your contribution.

While Living in Taiwan is a busy, wide-ranging forum, there are other specific forums for relationships, teaching, business, legal issues, animals, food, events, travel, restaurants, and so on. Check the Forumosa menu to find the most appropriate place for your post.

While it is preferable to post questions dealing with dissimilar topics in separate threads (“How Much for an Apartment in Tianmu?”, “Are There Many Foreigners in Tianmu?”), if you are a new arrival, it is possible to present numerous questions in one post, but realize that your thread will then, after two weeks, be merged into the New to Taiwan: Some Questions thread.

(Theory) Why some foreigners never leave the flob

It's like an enormous nipple that brings maternal comfort and thus boosts the egos of otherwise generally inadequate men (yes, mostly men). Any thoughts?

I have a convertible car, a heavy motorcycle and cool shades to go with both of them. I don't need the flob to make up for my inadequately sized things.

I'm a sucker for nipples, but I do prefer small ones.
If I prioritized the acquisition of wealth above other purposes in life, I might still have come to Taiwan to study Chinese, but I doubt I would have remained here.

A flob is a bit of spit on the floor, sometimes but not necessarily containing a greeny.

Thanks for the clarification, now could you repeat the OP in a phrase a retarded American might understand?

Is this some sort of foreign word usage or is it an accepted metaphor?
