Customer: I'm looking for a special kind of bead.
Bead store clerk: Okay, can you describe it?
Customer: Well, it's flat and has four holes in it. I know there's a name for them, but I just can't remember it. You can sew them into clothing...
Bead store clerk: Do you mean a button?
Customer: Yes! Do you have buttons?
Bead store clerk: Um, no.
