Call it what you want. If “Clip” was good enough for Savage Arms 30 years ago then it’s good enough for me now.

Not applicable here, but too many times I hear people splitting hairs about the term just so that they can feel superior.347C9A28-18B4-48AD-A3DF-5AC8D94E5A8F.jpeg

For years I sliced, diced and butchered the word "slough" wondering why they put it behind a few signs naming rivers entering lakes in particular. Finally after 40 yrs my dad finally corrected me with proper pronunciation, still laugh and occasionally joke about it.

"Scrimshaw," isn't a noun. Its an activity.
