Korrekt ist Nadel. Wenn sie aus Metall ist, kann man auch Pinke dazu sagen.

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.

Those are shoe laces. They help keep your shoes on your feet.

Home Improvement is where I learned that, hence the picture of Wilson, who’s the one who brought it up.

For specialized pokey tools, my favorite is the regulator. The only thing handier than a regulator is two regulators.

“The plastic tips at the end of shoe laces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.”
rockerface@lemm.ee 2 months ago
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.

Telomeres, right? Then why is nobody saying telomeres?
Gustephan@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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
PetteriSkaffari@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Reverse the metaphor.

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.
bodaciousFern@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
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 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.

tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
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

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
AliasVortex@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Nah, eyelet is the hole that your lace (and aglet) goes through.
