What is a "pushpin"?
A pushpin is a small, pointed tool used to attach papers, notes, or lightweight items to a surface like a bulletin board. It usually has a sharp metal tip and a flat or rounded top that can be easily pressed by hand. Pushpins are commonly used in homes, schools, and workplaces to hold items in place temporarily without causing much damage to the surface. They are simple to use and can be removed and reused whenever needed.
