    It's just one of those little things that once you start looking for the meaning and can't find it you get more interested....and frustrated.
    The search continues!

    S.O.S pads originated during WWII when steel was a short. S.O.S stands for "save our steel"

    Fob was the name given to the chain,or any ornament attached to the chain, that pocket watches used to be attached to, and I guess it just moved on from there to the modern day exuivalent.
