The only modelmaker jargon I'm aware of that I've found acceptable is the
"jumper brick" (should be plate, but whatever) but that's because "1x2 plate
with one stud" is too long. But "headlight brick" and "robot head" are just
fine, no need to call them "washing machines" or "daleks" just because
modelmakers do.
