    I’m too old to know what Phineas and Ferb is, but when I was young I used to love knowing obscure words like:

    • The indent between your upper lip and your nose is called the philtrum (more commonly known now because of piercings

    • The recess on the bottom of a wine bottle is called a punt.

    • The infinity symbol (like a sideways 8) is a lemniscate

    • The cap on the pointy end of an umbrella, or any other tubular thing (including a pencil) is called a ferrule

    • The space between your eyebrows is your glabella

    Etc. Anyway, aglet was one of those. I was always so happy when I had an opportunity to use one (“Oh, man, my aglet broke!”).

    Aglets, and it’s 100% due to Phineas and Ferb

    I personally don’t know what they’re called but to my cat that’s called food.

    Aglet. Another shout-out to Phineas and Ferb.

    Aglet. Archie comics did a bit on them, that’s where I learned

    Easy. The 80s and older crowd will know this from some inherent eldritch knowledge or have no idea. But everyone else will know this from Jimmy Neutron.

    I’m only in my mid twenties. Y’all need to stop making me feel old.
