The little piece of plastic at the end of a shoe lace is called an aglet.

I learned that from Phineas and Ferb.

IT DOESN'T MATTER!!

In what way?

That was just a quote from that episode. Candace repeatedly yells that at the boys as they celebrate aglets.

Sorry that it came off like I was screaming at you. I should have put it in quotes.

I haven't seen the episode in a decade, but reading it again in her voice made me laugh.

Thank you Terraria for this useless piece of info

Pretty sure it was the movie Repossessed with Leslie Nielsen that taught me this one.

I was gonna correct you and say aiglet, but turns out it's both correct
