Now that I think of it, isn’t “hermaphrodite” incorrect in this context? I mean, a 1x1 brick is hermaphroditic re: male:female connection points. The part you’re describing might be more accurately described as male:male.

Dave!

Of course you’re correct. I guess I thought of all the parts that allow 180 degree connections as “hermaphrodite”, but realize now that’s not the accurate term.

I can see myself a)thinking, “I wonder what this little pin is for?” and then b) realizing it provided back-to-back studs and going, “Ooohhh. Cool!” Oh well, I guess I am going insane.. I’m probably going to have to stay up all night combing through my BIs looking to recreate that moment..
