Talk:Key fob

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How does this relate to keychain and keyring? Someone merge, please, who's familiar with the term. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 20:37, 2004 Sep 7 (UTC)

Key fobs have key rings on them, Key rings are just the metal loop that you put keys on, and a Key chain is a key ring populated with keys and other key rings. A key chain can also be a chain that attaches to you belt loop with a key ring on the end of it. At least this is what these items are in U.S. Midwest dilect.

Can anyone clarify what "fob" means...is it an acronym? abbreviation?

It is actually a word, fob is a adornment that hangs from a chain or ring. --Thax 21:46, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
