12 Things You Won’t Believe Have Proper Names by akeeen(m): 7:32pm On Aug 10, 2017 |
Names are important. What kind of world would it be if everything didn’t have a name?! Imagine having to point at whatever you wanted in the super market. African parents would be unable to send their kids on errands since things didn't have names. All in all, a world without names would be chaotic for sure. Here are names of some common things you didn’t realise have proper names: 1. Wamble The rumbling/gurgling sound your stomach makes especially when you’re hungry is called a Wamble. 2. Tines The four pointy ends on a fork are called tines. 3. Glabella This is the name of the space betweenyour eyebrows. 4. Petrichor After it rains on a hot dusty day, you’re usually treated to some nose porn. Yes, that smell after it rains that makes you nostalgic for when you were a kid is called Petrichor. 5. Overmorrow Everyone says the “day after tomorrow”. Rather than saying that, overmorrow is the name of the day after tomorrow. 6. Interrobang An interrobang is used to describe the combination of a question mark with an exclamation mark. This “?!” is called an interrobang. 7. Armscye This is the name given to the armholesin clothes where the sleeves are sewn on. 8. Griffonage Bad handwriting that is essentially unreadable is called Griffonage . 9. Tittle The little dot over a small letter i or j is called a tittle or jot. 10. Minimus The last finger on your hand isn’t called a Pinkie. It’s actually called Minimus. The name also applies to your little toe too. 11. Aglet This is the metal or plastic coating at the end of the laces on your shoes and sneakers. 12. Agraffe You know how you open bottles of non-alcoholic wines or even Champagne and you would find a weird metal cage that holds the cork in? That metal cage is called an Agraffe.
