Flat One-er With No Bobble

One dot square

If you play with Lego, I bet you do this, too! It’s one of the things I mourn, actually: Peeron and Bricklink are scaring away all the internal descriptions of pieces.

    Actually, I find that even around people who use both extensively, internal slang prevails, especially during a group build or bullshit session.

    That would have been a flat one-er for me when I was a kid. We called them by the length of the longest side and either flat or brick. Apart from roof bricks and wheels there just weren’t very many shapes available in 1971.

    My first Lego was obtained from my aunt ca. 1976 or 77. There were bricks, plates, (big) peoples’ heads and arms, and wheels. We called most of the pieces by dimensions, with the plates being called “flats”.

    Pre-molded building pieces of fixed shape? How quaint!
