Marrette is a brand name of wire connector. Actually "Wire Nut" is
a
brand name also, Ideal owns the trade name wire nut... It's like
calling a snowmobile a "ski-doo", ski-doo is a brand name.
Either
way, people will know what your talking about.
These are all eponyms.
There was a person named "wire nut"?
Where'd you come up with THAT?
Anyway, it's still funny.
Interestingly, there have been a few things in the local paper about
people getting electrocuted when trying to steal copper wire. Could
those be the "wire nuts"? :-)
"These are all eponyms"
I had to look that word up.
"An eponym is a word derived from someone's name."
