  I misremembered it as eglet, and I probably learned it from uncle John’s bathroom reader because I am old.

  I believe there was a book in the 80s called Sniglets that made up words for things and this was one of them. I didn’t remember what it was called. Any or all of this memory could be wrong.

  • HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    All words are made up

    source

    • OsakaWilson@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Most of them were not made up recently, and in a book of words made up for that book.

  Aglets, but according to Tom Cruise in Cocktail, they’re Flugelbinders

• KBTR1066@kbin.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

  If you've seen "Cocktail", they're flugelbinders.

  Shoelaces.

  source

  • atocci@kbin.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Technically correct, how about the things on the tip of them?

    source

    • Enkers@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      I now know its an aglet, but my initial guess would have been “shoelace tip”. xD

• originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

  source

  • atocci@kbin.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    I give you half-credit for the misspelling, but pretty much correct

    It is a bar, but specifically the things on the tips of the shoelace

    source

    • A_A@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      I didn’t know the answer (Aglets) neither in English nor in my first language. I believe you are compiling results (?).
