Justice League Unlimited, animated series from the mid aughts, for me. The Question played by Jeffrey Combs was amazing!

I am reminded of this term about once a year and then promptly forget because it never comes up except in internet memes.

It’s actually an eyelet
AliasVortex@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Nah, eyelet is the hole that your lace (and aglet) goes through.

Those are shoe laces. They help keep your shoes on your feet.

I know this one! It’s a picture - a graphical depiction of something. They can come in many formats. I’ve heard they can be worth a thousand words.

No, before now I did not know the name for it in my first language either.

Damn, I was joking and now I’m at -1. Should’ve added the /s I guess.
More seriously, aren’t those called aglets? Always forget the name when I want to remember it.

^ This ^ is where I learned the word “aglet” and (looked up) what they were. First time I found them in Terraria, I thought surely it was a typo for “anklet” or something, since that was back in the beta days.
bodaciousFern@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 hours ago
I don’t know the name but I can tell you how sad they make me when they break and tear off and you have to use a lighter on the now extremely frayed end of your shoelace for just a few seconds, and then pinch off the flame just lightly burning your fingies while molding the shoelace end into a cohesive black carcinogen.

For specialized pokey tools, my favorite is the regulator. The only thing handier than a regulator is two regulators.

Ah, but once you know of the aglets, do you know what you put the aglets through? Maybe you should be friends with people who don’t know aglets but do know the word for the holes
