Fresh Off the Boat-I remember that phrase back in the day.
A Key fob is some kind of ornament or gizmo that attaches
to your key ring.

Thanks guys, I thought maybe FOB had a meaning... you know "function operating buttons" or something. Guess not. Thanks though

fob, relating to keys, dates from the days of pocket watches and had meaning as a word, not initials. (no electronics then)
