Fun tech crossover, the word "aglet". In addition to the shoelace word, it was also the name of a Java mobile agents framework from IBM ~1997.

I once explained to a co-worker that we needed to buy a packet of "ethernet aglets." They knew exactly what I was talking about, and to this day I still don't know what the actual name for the things is.
