I had not heard of kirby grips, but google tells me that bobby pins, kirby grips and what I though of as clips; are all the same.
edit: did you add the photo? how did I miss that first time? |
Re: Pet Peeves?

Ah, I thought of a clip as bigger and more decorative.
OK America. I concede this one. |

Hang on a minute Ms monetpenny20; you are in Australia? I have been moaning about the word 'bobby pin' as an Americanism, and why can they not just say 'clip', have I been amiss? Do Brits call clips, bobby pins?

Clips are more like what we call barettes. Clips are bigger and usually decorative where bobby pins are meant to not be seen. |

Re: Pet Peeves?
The folks who live around the corner....for never clearing the pavement on snow on the side street that we live on. They clear the path on the pain road side though.
Knobhead even runs a snow ploughing sideline. Also hate how when all the main roads get ploughed, the side intersections get blocked in by the snow, which is a bugger to then cross over if you're pushing kids in a push chair....that and trying to help a little kid clear the snow bank to cross the road at a zebra crossing. |
