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.
I believe it's called a lanyard BT.
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.

Anubis is right, it is a lanyard.
Yup, lanyard.
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.

"Robert Z'Dar's chin is so big that if he ever plays a gym coach in a movie, they'll need to tie two lanyards together so can wear a whistle around his neck."

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! (http://5g8.net/smileys/lol-065.gif)

Just that you misspelled
sentence. :tongueout:
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.

If you read it correctly; which you didn't, it was already crapped and I didn't have room. It's English, it's a tricky language.

Mine is called George!
They are useful in some situations, and for some items. A breakaway neck lanyard can be useful, like for keys or a whistle. I use them on items that I might drop, such as a camera, compass, knife, etc. I usually make mine from 550 cord.
All the teachers at my school wear those for their I.D.s but my math teacher last year took it to a completley different level. He added two flash drives and his keys! Believe me you look like a dork with two flash drives and a set of keys dangling from your neck.

Wow. It's like the 21st-century pocket protector full of pens.
Math teachers are a different breed anyway.

I think that's because they teach numbers and not words, I think most physics teachers are similar to or are math teachers, leading to this hypothesis.
Speaking of lanyrads, this was set ona company-wide e-mail this very day:
"Today you will find an emergency contact card in your mailbox. It is to be kept on your lanyard with your key card. This card is a quick reference for contact numbers from both internal and external phone lines. "
Now I'll HAVE to get a lanyard

I learned long ago that almost any non-metallic object attached to my keys is eventually going to come off in my pocket anyway, so my keys are on a plain old ring. Well, two rings with a clasp, so I can separate my car keys if necessary.

Well, me I like having something I could grasp to keep the keys from tumbling out of my hand, so I started with small pocketknives. Now I've got a cool Swiss Army knife on my key chain, along with a fob to get into my apartment and five keys.
A person should never go anywhere without a pocket-knife. Most of my family carries one, me included. Back before my grandfather died, he carried on for years that became affectionately know as the 'rib-sticker'...moonshiners are a different breed.
