Trivia quiz: The sequel!

Today's question is brought to you by the saying "Necessity is the mother of invention." What is the proper name for the plastic sheaths on the ends of shoelaces? Bonus points if you can come up with something other than "thingie." :) Good luck!

I knew it was aglet. I remember it from the movie "Reposessed" with Linda Blair and Leslie Nielsen.
Very funny by the way...
