Aglet. Thanks Phineas and Ferb!
Terraria for me
Terraria made me think they were some sort of instrument because of how it looked.
I kinda gathered that they were part of a footwear because they’re part of the boots upgrade, but yeah, I had to look up the term afterwards
Don’t forget it
I’m too old to know what Phineas and Ferb is, but when I was young I used to love knowing obscure words like:
-
The indent between your upper lip and your nose is called the philtrum (more commonly known now because of piercings
-
The recess on the bottom of a wine bottle is called a punt.
-
The infinity symbol (like a sideways 8) is a lemniscate
-
The cap on the pointy end of an umbrella, or any other tubular thing (including a pencil) is called a ferrule
-
The space between your eyebrows is your glabella
Etc. Anyway, aglet was one of those. I was always so happy when I had an opportunity to use one (“Oh, man, my aglet broke!”).
But are you old enough to remember Tom Cruise discussing them in the film Cocktail? (in the cinema on the original release‽ )
Another fun one: the # symbol is an octothorpe
These are awesome! Thanks
The cardboard ring around a coffee cup is called a Zarf
And the infinity symbol is likely related to the analemma, the shape the sun traces out over the course of a year.

Aglets.
Aglet. Not Phineas & Ferb. Terraria.
Aglet. Thanks phineas and ferb!
Aglets, and it’s 100% due to Phineas and Ferb
A-G-L-E-T
Don’t forget it!
Aglets
Telomeres for your shoestrings
I like you
Easy. The 80s and older crowd will have some inherit eldritch knowledge or have no idea. But everyone else will know it from Jimmy Neutron.
scrolling through the comments, seeing Phineas and Ferb everywhereI’m only in my mid twenties. Y’all need to stop making me feel old.
I watched Jimmy Neutron, but I guess I never saw (or maybe just never processed) that episode.
I know it from an Archie comic I read in the 90’s
I know it from Justice League Unlimited.
Aglets. Terraria my beloved.
Aglets.
And their true purpose is sinister.
What’s their true purpose?
THAT is… The Question.
🎶 A, G, L, E, T, Aglets! Don’t forget it 🎶
^^^One word at a time^^^
What, the shoes?
You wanna maybe use a red circle mate?
OP, they’re obviously called aglets.
Didn’t Phineas and Ferb teach you anything?
Exactly the point I’m trying to prove 😉
