carabiner

the actual spelling of the device used to "clip" things together. not carribeaner. the device's use also goes back further than mountain climbing, as the word originated from the german word for "hook for a carbine", carbine being a firearm similar to a rifle.

hey bob, are you aware that most people are ignorant of, and most likely don't even care about, the proper spelling of "carabiner"?
