Someone is paid to think up names of things. I wonder how many words were in the first dictionary and how did people communicate if they did not know the words to describe something?

I knew a few of those. Also, Number 20 is incorrect. That is called a "Brannock device."

thought No. 8 was called a "pizza saver" . that raised piece of plastic to keep the cheese from getting stuck to the top of the box.
