People who always do the house chores are familiar with custom aprons. A lanyard may refer to a rope or cord worn around the neck, shoulder, or wrist to carry an object. Usually it is used where there is a risk of losing the object or to ensure that it is visible at all times. Alternatively it is a length of cord or wire with a hook at the end used to fire an artillery piece, or to arm the fuse mechanism on an air-dropped bomb by pulling out a cotter pin when it leaves the aircraft. Aboard a ship, it may refer to a piece of rigging used to secure or lower things. Later, in the French military, lanyards were used to connect a pistol, sword or whistle to a uniform on a semi-permanent basis.
 
Lanyards were used in situations where there was a good chance of losing the object—commonly by cavalry and naval officers at sea. A well-made pistol lanyard can be easily removed and reattached by the user, but otherwise will stay connected to the pistol whether it is drawn or in custom aprons. Lanyards later became a more decorative item. Eli Wallach, reportedly told director Sergio Leone that it was too difficult to put a pistol into a holster without looking, so Leone put Wallach's pistol on a lanyard.
 
Lanyards of various color combinations and braid patterns are also commonly worn on the shoulders of military uniforms to denote the wearer's qualification or regimental affiliation. Many regiments were originally mounted and wore the lanyard on the left, enabling the rider to pull a whistle from his left tunic pocket and maintain communication with the custom aprons. Electronics designed to take a lanyard usually have a small through-hole built into a corner or edge of the case or anchored to the frame of the device; the corresponding lanyard generally has a loop of thread on the end that is attached to that hole with a simple knot, usually a cow hitch.
