Ordinary Things You Didn't Know Had Official Names

► Today we are looking at things that perhaps we didn't know had official names. There are roughly one million words in the English language, which is more than a little bit daunting. And yet, statistics show that we, in average, only use actively about 20,000 words. And, for certain everyday things we might not actually know their names, for example, the metal part of a pencil, or the plastic end of your shoelaces, or the vertical groove between the nose and upper lip. I have put together a tiny collection of not so widely known words for things that live alongside us every day. Please check the video and see how many of these words did you know...
