What childhood names did you have for parts?

Recommended Posts

My brother and me had loads of weird names for pieces:

4274.gif Little tower. If you hold it right up, it looks a bit like a tower with a little door...

We did the typical, four-ers, six-ers, etc for 1x4 bricks and 1x6 bricks etc. If they were a 2x4 brick they would be a fat four-er.

1x1 round bricks were pipies.

I can't think of any others right now.

My 3 year old calls 1x1 round plates, buttons.

Did you ever try to tell her that? The reaction would be interesting I think :grin:

I did!!! Thankfully she's kinda a geek too - not a LEGO geek, but she gets it. I think she felt honoured somehow!

'Jumpers' as Centralisers, as they centralised things :laugh:. I still call them that.

It's a much better name than jumpers! If maybe a tad long ;O)

If they were a 2x4 brick they would be a fat four-er.

Fat fourers! Yes we did too! I had totally forgotten that. default_satisfied.gif
