Default What's the proper name for...?

The little pads you can get for sticking on cupboard e.g. kitchen doors
so that they don't make as much noise when slamming shut?

You sometimes see them in the little catalogues full of knick knacks
that get pushed through you door.

Do these things even have a 'proper' name?

I used self-adheshive window frame draught excluder to good effect, one 15m
roll does an awful lot of cupboards!

What, a proper name like 'Malcolm' or something? Seems unlikely. I
always think of them as 'snorgelberglingthingies'

The message . com
from "Abertech" contains these words:

Bumps.

B&Q Depots sell those rather nice piston dampers in packs of six for a
fiver - or five for six quid, I forget which. They're dead good.
