Aglet!

Hey hey! Today I learned a great word and I wanted to share it. I got this off of the new Phineas and Ferb which showed tonight at 9:30 (Mountain Time). It is...(drumroll)...aglet!! Okay, according to the Apple dashboard:

aglet ('aglit)

noun

a metal or a plastic tube fixed tightly around each end of a shoelace

ORIGIN late Middle English : from French aigullette "small needle," diminutive of aiguille 

Used in a sentence: Her aglets broke so the ends of her shoelaces were frayed. 

Watch the episode to find out more information on the aglet and how you can raise awareness! :-]
