Another one which would be good to have a concise name for are the
various "connector" pieces, especially for the 1x1 plate with side clip.
I could see the one which holds a rod vertical being called any of:
1x1 plate with vertical clip (because it holds a rod verticle)
1x1 plate with horizontal clip (because the clip occupies the horizontal
plane)
1x1 plate with vertical side clip (because it holds a rod verticle)
1x1 plate with horizontal side clip (because the clip occupies the
horizontal plane)
1x1 plate with side clip for vertical rod (what I currently use in my
inventories)
The 2nd could also get confused with the 1x1 with clip on top.
