Had to stew on it for a while - the bar-ends (bar ends) vs. barcons (bar-cons) thing.
Boy, I didn't know how many folks out there knew exactly what they were, now I feel plumb stoopid, for years I've been calling them "those hang-down, flippy things.."
Glad we all took the time to clear that situation up!
