That's a metal doohickey.

Or a carabiner.

Depending on who I'm talking to.

keychain hook... honestly never bothered to know the name.

The fact that you're having a heated debate about it seems kinda sad.

what something is referred to does not necessarily equate to the actual "name" of the object. FYI I don't recall ever hearing the term "carabiners"

Many people use the term "coke" to refer to all carbonated beverages. It's a geographic thing.

Either would be correct.

All carabiners are clips.
Not all clips are carabiners.
