I just discovered that the plastic/metal thingys placed in men’s shirt collars to make them stand up are called c[ollar stays](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collar%5Fstays?ref=kudithipudi.org) :). I discovered that during a recent trip to Kohl’s.. Here’s how the conversation looked like

**Me** : hmm.. you know those things in the collar.. that make them stiff.. you know..those things!!

**Clerk** : What things?

**Me** : Well.. those things that are made of  plastic and white in color.. you know…those things.

**Clerk** : Oh..Sir.. “those things” are called “Collar Stays”

**Me** : Thank you.. I feel enlightened now 🙂

BTW.. IMHO.. every gentleman should have some spare collar stays in his kit. And you can get them for cheap on [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb%5Fss%5Fa?url=search-alias%3Dapparel&field-keywords=collar+stays&x=0&y=0&ref=kudithipudi.org).
