A key fob is a thing that goes on your keyring.

Weird. We call them key-rings over here

Re: Ok, it's my turn for a lingo question...

The key "ring" is just the ring - any pendants hanging off of it would be a "fob" ... the part you grab to retrieve from the pocket.

The watches had watch chains, and at the end of the chain was the watch "fob" that hung out to grad to retrieve the watch from the pocket.

I know it's already been said, but I wanted to post too... so I repeated everything.

it's the hangy out of the watch pocket thing. it could be any thing, usually hooked to a chain and then to a pocket watch.
