I was a pocket watch user in the time before we all carried phones all the time and I cursed all pants without a fob pocket in those days.

I was always taught it was called a ‘fob pocket’, as in a pocket for your fob watch (the old name for a pocket watch) but I only knew that because my grandfather collected fob watches. I was also taught that the little pocket near the hip of the inside of a coat is called a fob pocket for the same reason.

I'm not really sure about it's actual name since i'm not a native speaker; i basically shoehorned the translation

it makes for a great card holder for metros or any situation where you need to have a card in a quickly accessable place

Come on, dude, there is no female wage gap. It's just that men choose high-salary jobs, like doctor or lawyer, and women choose low-salary jobs, like female doctor or female lawyer.

No one has made mention of the 83.7%. I think it should be 17% odd smaller.

Sorry I know it's like that glass eyed guy from last action hero.
