Or something. I'll file a bug report and see what happens, but the plugin has been disabled for now. I always went "spurs and jangly bits" and that sounded quite acceptable. What the hell is a "ball peen" hammer? No, I fail at carpentry. Sorry. Link fixed, thanks :)

Got instead phosphene, aglet, rowel and ferrule. Actually, I never considered the first one obscure. (And rowel - heh, that would be my twelve-year-old cowboy phase... Never had boots with rowels but I did have a hat. I think.) And 'peen' <i>should</i> have been obvious to anybody who's used a ball-peen hammer and knew what's called, but for some reason that didn't occur to me till I saw it on the list. "Ball-peen" is distractingly funny. Didn’t get that one. Got instead phosphene, aglet, rowel and ferrule. Actually, I never considered the first one obscure.
