Definitely studs, as even french people use, not mainly but only, this term.

I *think* that “knobs” may be more common in the U.K. but I could be very wrong. It would be interesting to hear from someone who uses the term (if anyone) and know where they are. I know at least one reference to it, and it was one made by the LEGO company here. And now that I look at that page again, they also refer to the ‘washing machine’ brick and mention that tiles are also called “smoothies”. Anyone know who uses that label?

Are they offset or jumper plates?

AZMEP plates :)

O.K. you can’t just tell us a name like that and not explain what it means. :) I’m very interested in knowing the background of that term.

Are they headlight or washing machine bricks?

Erling bricks :)

Ditto to what I said above. I’d love to know what this means or translates to.

A very good group IMHO. For instance, there are a lot of place talking about new sets....but I’ve not been able to see a place talking about new parts, which is of higher interest for MOCers.

Actually, now that I think of it, I guess this discussion should at least partly belong in this group:

http://news.lugnet.com/db/brictionary/

Sadly that group gets even less traffic than LUGNET.parts. :(
