Last Saturday I was at an auction and was looking at the tools which happened
to be inside . Another person was also broswing. The owner had made a number
of wodden jigs for his table saw ranging from a miter sled to a tennoning jig.
Just to make conversation with the other person, I stated that the owner and
been rather prolific and had a lot of jigs to go with the saw. The person gave
me that knowing look and said "their fixtures - you need to be careful and not
call fixtures jigs" Well, my response was I'm a bit of a newbie at his (which
is true) but everything I have read and heard refers to these things as jigs -
fixtures is a new way of naming these things"

Well, my silly question is, "Are these jigs or fixtures?"
