The Answer is....

"Not a flugalbinder after all"

What are those things on the end of shoolaces anyway?

ag·let

n.
1) A tag or sheath, as of plastic, on the end of a lace, cord, or ribbon to facilitate its passing through eyelet holes.

2) A similar device used for an ornament.


I'm such a dork. I was always told/taught that the little plastic tip of a shoelace is called a flugalbinder. Apparently I'm not the only one.

Fun fact of the year!
