Strange Names for Things
Check out this list of 33 unusual names for plain old nouns, featuring such goodies as:
AGLET - The plain or ornamental covering on the end of a shoelace.
DRAGÉES - Small beadlike pieces of candy, usually silver-coloured, used for decorating cookies, cakes and sundaes.
OCTOTHORPE - The symbol ‘#’ on a telephone handset.
SCROOP - The rustle of silk.
Honestly, I’d never heard of these and I question their use. But they are neat!
