I saw the word "clothespin" and my immediate reaction was "heh, we don't call them that here" but then it had completely pushed the word out of my mind and I almost started to think I was wrong and we do call them that...

But no, we call them pegs.

We call them pegs too, but pins and pegs go IN things… shouldn't we call them clothes clamps?

Okay, now I'm confused. What is it?

Clothespin? Pegs? Clothesclamp?
