Got to love those bretelles.

Oh snap, Kick or Punt. I always wondered why they had those on the bottom of wine bottles.

OK what does a Hemidemisemiquaver sound like?

1. Aglet: The plain or ornamental covering on the end of a shoelace.
2. *****: A faucet with a bent-down nozzle.
3. Brassard: A cloth band worn around the upper arm. It often bears an identifying mark- like the one with a swastika that Hitler wore.
4. Bretelles: A pair of ornamental suspender-tlike straps that go from the belt on the front of a dress over the shoulders to the belt in the back.
5. Duff: The decaying organic matter found in a forest floor.
6. Harp: The small metal hoop that supports a lampshade.
7. Hemidemisemiquaver: A 64th note. (A 32nd note is a demisemiquaver, and a 16th note is a semiquaver.)
8. Kick or Punt: The indentation at the bottom of some wine bottles. It gives added srength to the bottle, but lessens its holding capacity.
9. Phosphenes: The lights you see when you close your eyes hard. Technically, the luminous impressions are due to the excitation of the retina caused by pressure on the eyeball.
10. Piggin: A small wooden pail with one long stave used as the handle.
11. Quarrel: A small, diamond-shaped pane of glass, like that used in lattice windows.
12. Sam Browne Belt: A leather belt for a dress uniform. It is supported by a light strap that passes over the right shoulder. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police wear them.
13. Solidus: The oblique stroke used between words, or in fractions, as 7/8. It is also called a diagonal, seperatrix, virgule, shilling, sland, or slash.
14. Tang: The projecting prong on a tool or instrument.
15. Tobies: The small pottery hugs, mugs and pitchers that are used for ale. A toby is shaped like a stout man with a ***** hat, a corner of which serves as the pourer.
16. Zarf: A holder for a handleless coffee cup.

The Sam Browne belt would look great with a Thom Browne suit.

I usually just make my own names up for stuff.

Although its quite difficult to explain to someone the variations between a Thingamabob and a Thingamajig

I suppose its like Psychology and Psychiatry :)

I just want a girl to touch the Tang on the end of my *****.

Ok, I knew three of those... but I thought Duff was a beer.

Site is down, so I'm guessing aglet is on the list.

Record number of diggs for a dead server

less than 5 min, wow

Aren't these all just Sniglets?

Lol, who here closed their eyes really hard and tried to see the phosphenes when they read #9?

here ya go folks:

Digg strikes again.

Extra Credit: A Zarf, The cardboard holder for coffee cups was invented by Bill Nye "The Science Guy".

Don't forget taint.

How hard is it to change the default Joomla logo to your site's logo?

So you mean Hilary Duff is really just decaying organic matter? Actually, that kind of makes sense.

they all just sound like British terms for things... not really standard definitions...

Site was down so I don't know if they were attributed, but that list is lifted directly out of the Book of Lists from about 20 years ago.

Is there a name for that compartment on the side of car doors that's used to hold maps, ***** cd's, and candy wrappers? I've been calling it a Scooby doo box.

Where's the classic "Wewe" from The Ricky Gervais Podcasts?

Wewe: A female ghost with large drooping breasts.

zarf was in the USA Today crossword puzzle a couple days ago. Until I googled it, I had no idea what it meant.

joomla!

Before the year 2000 I would have never guessed that a piece of paper hanging from a punch hole was called a "chad" my thanks goes to the state of Florida for the enlightening me.

Its Separatrix not Seperatrix.. might want to double check your spelling when the whole highlight of the article is on these not-so-common words.

Apologies, couldn't resist:

1. Aglet: The plain or ornamental covering on the end of a shoelace.
Thats WRONG. Tom cruise in ***** the movie named those things "Flugelbinders". That was from the 80s so where did aglet come from? Ive been calling them flugelbinders all this time and was wrong. Arrrg. lol

No Tittle? The name of the dot in the lower case letter i.

Joomla is a land salmon, wow I had no idea. Wait a minute what's a land salmon?

Yes, but do you know the sinister purpose of aglets?

Digg broke it... :( Come back later.

Cool list. I'll add another one.
Aglet = small plastic cladding on the end of shoelaces.

for an even better list of things you never knew had names, check out Douglas Adam's "The Meaning of Liff" http://folk.uio.no/alied/TMoL.html

17. digg: The cause of many server crashes

Bretelles - majority of my mates knw wht it is... :)

One significant one missing from the list:
MURL. Those pump-action trolley things that run on train/rail lines, much like you would see Coyote chasing Road Runner on.

Forgot one:

# Octothorpe

Is this one working for you guys? It looks like it has been Dugg out of existence already :( It's like going to the front page and shouting "FREE CAKE FOR ALL YOU VISIT THIS SITE!" but when I walk into the web site they say "Sorry, all sold out of cake". It's just dissapointing not being able to read something that you wanted to read.

add my wife to the list. I didn't know she had a name

The Sam Browne belt is occasionally worn with jeans when going to a leather bar or other leather event. The shoulder that it is worn over usually indicates whether the wearer is top or bottom.

Muntin: divides panes of glass in a door
Mullion: divedes panes of glass in a door
Stile: the piece of wood on the side of a door that connects the front and back panel
Boob: the clasp of a necklace

"THE MORE YOU KNOW......."

oops. Meant to say that a Mullion divides panes of glass in a window.
