I'm always amused by some of the descriptions that I see on eBay. I love when pen brands are called "Weavers", "Mable Todds", etc. I love how caps are sometimes called "lids" and nibs are called "nubs". Anything else come to mind?

A challenging issue no doubt. Many such sellers have tough time finding even the... nub... of the problem.

Seems to me half the pens on eBay have "nips" instead of nibs... which I have to admit gives me a frequent chuckle. Just because I'm 46 doesn't mean part of me isn't still 16.
