[Mgs] snap connectors vs bullet connectors

 I thought these kind of discussions were only on the Healey list.  As the new kid on the block around here, I see there are people here with too much time on their hands too. ;^)

 Good point, Max! There's also that snap when your hands hit the sheetmetal, usually an edge, when the connector finally falls apart!

Actually, now that I think about it, they do “snap” — when you try to disconnect a 50-year-old connector and the metal snaps, leaving you with broken bits that fall out of the rubber tube.

Okay. I'll bite.  If the piece crimped or soldered onto the wire isthe bullet connector, what do you call the female tube connector? Certainly not a bullet?
