FAB

Chip manufacturing site

Fab is informal for fabulous, expressing enthusiastic approval: That dress is fab.

The word peaked in 1960s British slang—the Beatles were famously "the Fab Four"—and now sounds slightly retro or campy.

In manufacturing and technology, fab is short for fabrication, especially semiconductor fabrication: a chip fab in Taiwan.
