Uncultured

A-G-L-E-T

Friendship: POSSIBLE
I know this because of phineas and ferb
- 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
- Nah, eyelet is the hole that your lace (and aglet) goes through.

Shoelace foreskins.

Those are the ends of what are called shoelaces, friend.

Friendship: DENIED
- 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.

Are you kidding me? Has usb D dropped already??

2000 ways to orient it, neat.

food. given how much i chew on them

Are you a cat? Who chews on their shoelaces?

The Simpsons told me what an aglet is years ago.

The question is, do you know what this is?

An awl? Am I missing something?
- Home Improvement is where I learned that, hence the picture of Wilson, who's the one who brought it up.
That's a Wilson.
Alrighty neighbour
(Awl, neighbour (Wilson) to the right)

🎵I want it awl, I want it awl, I want it awl, and I want it now🎵
(The song that gets stuck in my head whenever I use an awl)
- And now it will be in mine as well. So thanks for that.
Awl that jazz.
For specialized pokey tools, my favorite is the regulator. The only thing handier than a regulator is two regulators.

Yet another example of the US being under the thumb of big agletculture.

Aka if you don't watch phineas and ferb, you're not my friend

"The plastic tips at the end of shoe laces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister."

Their purpose is to be a component for Hermes Boots
- ^ 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.

They're clearly words. Letters if you want to be more specific.

That's a pretty cool unrelated picture of aglets, though. Totally random lol

Looks like Sandstorm by Darude

Okay I'll bite,
The rude who?

Really?! No one posted it?

Thanks. This is what I was looking for

Do I get a pass if English is not my first language?

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

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(s) 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.

Telomeres, right? Then why is nobody saying telomeres?

Telomeres are a structure on DNA. These things, aglets, are a common metaphor used to describe the function of telomeres as aglets basically do for shoelaces what telomeres do for DNA
- Reverse the metaphor.

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

Ooiiieee not my eyelet holes.
- I'm the only one that can have eyeholes
  Whack

I have no idea.

They're called aglets. If you didn't already know that, I'm going to assume you have a life and aren't a gigantic nerd, and hope you still invite me to parties despite occasionally spouting useless information.
- Now kiss
- I forgot what they were called as well, I just remember someone saying that guy became a millionaire when I was a kid, and at the time I thought there was still hope for me.
- That's a slur and I'm offended^~~happy~~ that you would call us that 😏
- Friday at 9 pm we're hangin' out, wanna join?

I CAN LEARN

...and then forget it later
- forget what?

Shoelaces

Aglet gang, rise up

It don fuckin matter what its called, it better have teeth marks on it brother.

Shoelace boners.

And so it was written. Well done.

5% increased movement speed

A man of culture, I see.

That's easy: they are the Tube nipples of the tube titties

I've spent hours looking for them so I could finally craft the Lightning boots.

I don't remember, but I know for a fact that cats are their natural predators

They are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

Wait, what's their true purpose?
- To slowly disperse neurotoxin when you chew on them.
- Haha, sorry, just a reference to this scene: https://youtu.be/QkEBvqaXXHc?t=26s

I called them string snibbets when I was little

Ah, I have heard the name of those before.

Egrets, right?

- Get that AI slop out of my face before I block you.

Thingamabobs

I thought everyone called them shoelace condoms.

Flugelbinder of course. Everyone who were alive in the 80s know this

Floogelbinders

Cocktail!
- A man of culture, i see!
You are correct. Everyone else is wrong.

Whappers

Ferrule

Cardaço

Steel card

Schlammer Jammers

Fadenendstücke

look nobody in my house was rich enough to afford jackets with those things

Herrete

I used to know what those were, but then I got zapped by a laser

Skuwka in Polish.

Solid matter.

same, brother, same

PUNTALE

I didn't watch the english dub when i was little :(

Those are thingamabobs/whatsits. 🤓

I only know the name in Spanish 😔

@ObviouslyNotBanana Aglets, BTW, are precisely the right size to go into a seat belt buckle, jam, and not come out again. That cost me a couple of hundred dollars and it turns out I'm not the only one...

Perfectly mildly interesting fact

dubb :)

Is it worth noting that I only know this because of the spoof horror movie Repossessed?

Education takes many forms

Baby pigs 🐖 😋
