Pull Tab It is that part of the jeans or jacket zipper that is required to tug on for closing the zip. Pull tab is attached to the slider head of the zipper that runs through the zip track. Earworm Earworm is nothing related to any kind of worm or virus. It is just that melodious and appealing tune which remains in your memory for a long span of time. Isn’t the name a bit strange and many of us seriously are not familiar with this term. Scroll Wheel We all know very well the functions of a computer mouse. Now the ball over the mouse which is required for scrolling down or up the page on the computer screen is known as the scroll wheel. You may feel the name be obvious for the thing, but we bet that it is new to you. Air Concentrator Most of us use hair dryers and the attachment that we fix at the mouth of the dryer to blow-dry our hair easily is called the air concentrator. Ferrule There are two types of umbrellas that are common to us. The first one is the telescopic umbrella which can be easily kept in the handbag and the other one is the stick umbrella.

Lie Bumps Lie bumps are actually known as lingual papillitis, which at times may form over your tongue. It is just like a small white-colored pimple which is not that serious, but one must see a doctor if the lie bumps last for a long span of time. Gound Gound is nothing but the dirt that every one of us remove from our eyes right in the morning. Punt The bottom part of the wine bottle is known as a punt. It was used when the bottles were made by the glassblowers, but now the punt of the machine-made bottles is just to keep up with the tradition.
