Что (кто) такое frobnicate - определение
WIKTIONARY REDIRECT
Frobnicate
frobnicate
/frob'ni-kayt/ (Possibly from frobnitz, and usually
abbreviated to frob, but "frobnicate" is recognised as the
official full form). To manipulate or adjust, to tweak.
One frequently frobs bits or other 2-state devices. Thus:
"Please frob the light switch" (that is, flip it), but also
"Stop frobbing that clasp; you'll break it". One also sees
the construction "to frob a frob".
Usage: frob, twiddle, and tweak sometimes connote points
along a continuum. "Frob" connotes aimless manipulation;
"twiddle" connotes gross manipulation, often a coarse search
for a proper setting; "tweak" connotes fine-tuning. If
someone is turning a knob on an oscilloscope, then if he's
carefully adjusting it, he is probably tweaking it; if he is
just turning it but looking at the screen, he is probably
twiddling it; but if he's just doing it because turning a knob
is fun, he's frobbing it. The variant "frobnosticate" has
also been reported.

I'm not sure how that program works; all I know is it frobnicates whatever you type in so you can't read it anymore.

frob
/frob/ 1. [MIT ] The TMRC definition was "FROB = a
protruding arm or trunnion"; by metaphoric extension, a "frob"
is any random small thing; an object that you can comfortably
hold in one hand; something you can frob (sense 2). See
frobnitz.
2. Abbreviated form of frobnicate.
3. [MUD ] A command on some MUDs that changes a player's
experience level (this can be used to make wizards); also, to
request wizard privileges on the "professional courtesy"
grounds that one is a wizard elsewhere. The command is
actually "frobnicate" but is universally abbreviated to the
shorter form.
