I guess not...

Myself, I never knew that little piece had a name; I've heard it just
called the drop or waste or somesuch, even though those are general
terms not specific to that, um, thing.

It doesn't. Not everything needs a name where a description will do.
When you clip your toenails and the first cut is incomplete, and
leaves a bit hanging until you nip it off, that doesn't have a name
either. It's just chatter for the sake of chatter.
