ha ha

really what it means is key fob,
and in the sense of the alarm system...
a key fob is a type of security token:
a small hardware device with built-in authentication mechanisms.

The word fob may be linked to the low German dialect for the word Fuppe, meaning "pocket."

common usage... "Fobbed off" - giving known defective parts or annoying task to unsuspecting person as in "I fobbed off that service call on Steve and went home early" or "We fobbed off those defective shocks on ebay."

FOB

Freight on board - shipping term commonly applied to trucked freight
