BOW of a key

OK I don't know if this can be figured out here but one of the parts of a key is called a bow. Is this pronounced like in bow and arrow.

Thank You.

Sorry if it sounded like a stupid question just wont to make sure I am learning the material from FB right.

Little offtopic, but the joy of finnish: Words are pronounced just like they are written, so you can't make a mistake

No I don't think so. Not all words are spoken like they are written. Potato, tomato, city....

He was talking about Finnish, not English.

by **blake1803** » 9 May 2007 17:48

Jaakko is talking about Finnish

Getting even further off-topic -- this is one of the things I like about the Python programming language. Unlike other scripting languages such a Perl etc, where there are 100 different ways to accomplish 1 task with nearly the same efficiency, there is almost always only one correct way to do things in Python. Makes reading code a lot easier

Yea and I didn't read that very clearly. He is still making me mad questioning the great and powerful newbie like that.

I don't do many scripting languages but I know some C#, C++, C, Basic, HTML (OK almost scripting). I guess you could say I am bilingual

i am a fluent programmer in alot of languages so new not so major languages are usualy easy for me to understand, because it looks the same obviously

this topic is a little off topic so to say something on topic: i wonder why you would want to know about the bow of a key because its never mentioned.....except maybe on warded keys, im looking at one right now, it goes to street light boxes, but they are out of service now, all the lights are controlled electronically, cops used to be able to put this key in and make the lights flash or whatever

i would say thats pentlingual

Ok first off the reason I am asking is it is part of the FB course work to know the different names of the keys. I figure if I am going to do this sport I might as well know what I am doing.

i would say thatâ€™s pentlingual

Hey I like the sound of that...Makes me sound impressive.

I believe this topic was already covered months ago, but I was under the impression the bow of a key is not like bow and arrow. It is like the bow of a ship like baw-wow (dog barking) basset hound.. backwards, rhymes with ka-pow! unless of course its called a bow because old ornate keys may have looked like a pretty bow all tied up and stuff.

anyone care to offer an opinion?

I can't offer one right now.......... I'm still trying to figure out why it was said tomato and potato aren't spoken like they are written. :shock:
