things that are ob

You may have given it the name flob because flob is spit and spit is what we do a lot but I doubt that many people here know that flob is spit. So, the name did not stick because it means spit but rather for some other reason, such as that people like ob things, things that are ob. It is like a mantra to those lacking patience for the full om which given it's long o (people like long things as well) does not even rhyme with ob, etc.
