It's called a wedding ring, but surely it should be called a marriage ring (startrek.website)

I dunno, doesn't seem like toe rings and cock follow the same naming convention.

Finger rings don't, either. Not when they're called that.

Oh yeah, and pinky rings!

At least onion rings are honest.

You get three rings at the shocking. The one for the pinky is called the "stinker ring"
