So a Key FOB is a Key "fresh off the boat"?

I'm not sure what a Key FOB is in reference to. But, a FOB is "fresh off the boat" as Thorin said.

Well, I know FOB is a chain that connects to something like a pocket watch. I guess that's where they get FOB, but i thought maybe in the auto industry it stood for something like Frequency..blah... blah.

Fob is a word in this case.
"An ornament or seal attached to such a chain or ribbon"
