Does anyone know the what the lyric is in Detroit, where Angier sings,

So you see where the rainbow ends for me
Is known to the world as (sounds like) F-O-B -Detroit

Does anyone know what FOB stands for? I've found these possible definitions online but none seem right:
Freight on Board
Family Owned Business
Fresh Off the Boat
First Order of Business

There are dozens of others too, none of them seem like obvious answers. Anyone know? I could totally have misheard the lyric too.
 
X-S, it's actually free on board (much like freight on board); it means the buyer wouldn't have to pay for the shipment. F.O.B. Detroit was a common term in the automobile industry for sending cars to their destination originating from Detroit.
