I mean, it should have an official name, right?  Okay, it's like a cord type thing, it has a clasp on the end which is connected to a tiny bit of nylon string (or something) which you can loop around other objects, thus making a necklace type thing.

Here's a picture.. currently, I have it connected to my Flash Drive.  I ask because I'm trying to get another one for a second flash drive I plan on purchasing, but have NO idea what they're called (and thus, no idea what to look for.) 



Is there an official name for this handy little device?



Man, I feel dumb asking this, probably slap myself when I hear it... ahhh, well.

Whew...

...what a relief.

I thought for a moment that this was another thread where I was going to have to reply with something like 'it's called a penis'.

Thankfully I didn't have to do that.

That should be the word of the day I think.  Everyone use it in a sentence at least once before you go to bed tonight.

Sorry I'm late but my sentence would be "The image is of a lanyard, yes a lanyard."  Do you have a problem with that sentance?  Too Bad!

Ahhh... a lanyard.

You know, to be brutally honest, I don't think I've ever HEARD that term before.  Weird...

Still, that's a neat piece of knowledge.

Here's my sentence...

For a key chain, she had a black nylon lanyard with about a dozen keys, several small metallic charms, and some sort magnetic card swinging at the end.

Hey, here's another question... speaking of key chains, is there an official name for those small things that have two sides of plastic with something in the middle that you often see on key chains?  Usually the something is either a picture or a something with a witty phrase written on it?

I call them "annoying" I take them off and pitch them as it's just something else to take up space in my pocket.
