And from my perspective, if I heard the word 'lug' I would think of a 'lug nut'
and studs don't really remind me of those. But it's interesting to hear that
someone does, indeed, use a term like that. This is what makes this topic so
much fun. You get to learn more about how people individualize the hobby.

I went with bricks as being the Technic pieces with studs on top and beams as
being the pieces without. I didn't get much more fancy than that. :)

I'm not sure who or where uses "washing machine" but I have heard it.

Or "jumper plates". Yup, I think that's one part with many names. I like
"offset" plate since (in my mind) that describes what it's doing to the piece
placed on top of it. It's "offsetting" it by a half stud. I don't really see
it as "jumping" anything, so I don't use that term.
