What is ferrule and why do you definitely have it in your house?
Hello everyone! In this article I want to talk about a few interesting names that you have never heard of for sure. Although for sure these things are in your home, wine cabinet, pencil case and even on your shoes. Intrigued?
Let's agree: in the comments you admit how many of the 5 names you guessed or knew. Go!
1. What is Ferrule?
At first it may seem that ferrule is some kind of alloy, and it contains iron. ("ferro" - iron from Latin). However, in fact, the iron tip of an ordinary student's pencil is called ferrule. Usually an eraser is attached to it (ferrule).
I also heard that ferrule is a term from dentistry. This is the name of the metal base for the implant.
2. Scoop
If you remember the army years, then you are deeply mistaken, the scoop is not a young boy, but part of a spoon that serves to scoop up food.
3. Musel
If you have ever been to the New World, then you probably went on an excursion to one curious plant. There, the guides tell you well and clearly show what a muzlet is. So, I’m telling you: a muzlet is a wire that is wrapped around a bottle of champagne.
To be precise, the muzlet fixes the cork in the neck of the bottle.
4. Eglet
This word is so strange and unusual that it has no analogues in Russian. And hardly anyone other than professional seamstresses and cutters has a version of what an eglet is.
In the meantime, for sure the last time you walked down the street, you were wearing an egglet.
Eglet is a metal rod attached to the end of a shoe or skate lace.
5. Punt - what is it?
Puntas are not fur shoes of the indigenous peoples of the North (not to be confused with antlers).
And there is no connection to the bows that adorn the head.
Punt is the bottom of the bottle, bottom.
By the way, do you still remember what a musical is?
