My brother and I had names for all of these too; I’d completely forgotten, but they came rushing back to me as I looked at the article. Neat!

It’s so interesting to me how they classify these bits. The one kid is pretty much all color. Another highlights the general appearance, a third names the pieces after what he uses them for, and the last is a mix of those two.

And despite this article and Stumbleupon’s cowardly act of advertising Lego sites, I’m /still/ not buying any.

Sometimes if the kids have been good we let them spend a fiver each there. You can get a lot of fascinating bits for a fiver.

I’ve done a lot of LEGO work and I never really gave the pieces a name. I always had a picture in my head of what I needed. Good thing I always worked solo.

I used to call each snappable circular thing a “tad”. So a 4×4 block would be a “16-tad”.

Excellent! Names were only an issue when communicating with others… My sister and I would ask eachother to “keep your eyes open for a flat 4-way grey”, or a “1 by 6 thick blue.”
