Faint fuzzies are metal-rich apparently-old star clusters with unusuallylarge radii (7-15 pc), found mostly in S0 galaxies, whose source remainobscure. To identify their origins, we compare planetary nebulae and neutralhydrogen with faint fuzzy positions and line-of-sight velocities in NGC1023. Inthis way, we rule out scenarios in which these objects are associated with anon-going merger or with a spheroid population in NGC1023. Their kinematics areindistinguishable from the stellar disk population in this galaxy, and weconclude that faint fuzzies are most likely just remnant open clusters. Theirobserved association with S0s then simply reflects the difficulty ofidentifying such objects in later-type disk galaxies.
