Hi all,
I get the whole point of their conversation but I feel so curious to know the exact meaning of 'fob' as it used differently several times as you can see in the context below:
Dad: Janey! You can't keep fobbing off your child whenever you want to take a break!
Janey: I'm not fobbing him off!
Dad: Well, what would you call three-hour lunches?! Shopping expeditions?! You're just a fobber!
Janey: If I am, I get it from you!
Dad: Don't fob your fobbing off on me!!!
I'd really appreciate it if you explained what it exactly means in this context.
