A Common Nomenclature for Lego Families
Every family, it seems, has its own set of words for describing particular Lego pieces. No one uses the official names. “Dad, please could you pass me that Brick 2x2?” No. In our house, it’ll always be: “Dad, please could you pass me that four-er?”
Giles Turnbull writes about his survey conducted to find out what different families call Lego™ pieces. I love the little chart that goes along with it and displays the results of his research. It definetely brings back memories of trying to craft the perfect Lego™ gun. And afterwards, dueling my grandmother and having her fake die. Man, I was horrible.
