Young Writers Society

When writing, i sometimes come to an abrupt stop because i can't think of what something is called, even though i know what it is. So i thought, why not create a thread so YWS writers can find out what things are called. They can be really small things, or things that most of us youngin's have probably never heard of before.

Anyways, what i need to know, what are those things on peoples desks called that have their name of them. Like, when you walk into your headteachers office and it has their name on a little black thing. Lol, i just can't think of the name...help?

I think those are called plaques. Yes, I looked up the definition. Plaque is the word.

A flat plate, slab, or disk that is ornamented or engraved for mounting, as on a wall for decoration or on a monument for information.

Yes?

Yesh, but in this case I'm pretty sure they're simply called 'nameplates', Claw.

xD

Hmmm... I'd use name-plaque :p

Nah, to me plaque sounds better.

Shut up ed. *smacks*

They're Plaques.

XD you guys...

Thank you! *continues*

Plaque's the stuff you get on your teeth when your toothbrush has been inactive.

Some words have two meanings, isn't it nice...
