Learn English – What do I call these things in English

vocabularyword-request

I use them quite often but I'm not sure what to call them. Their pictures appear in these links.

Should I call what is depicted in the first link a water spray bottle or a water sprayer? The picture in the second link is a black thingI put CDs through. Can I call it a pole or spindle?

Best Answer

The first is often called a mister - a device, such as a bottle, with a nozzle for spraying a mist of water, esp. on houseplants.

The second is often called a CD cakebox, defined by Google as...

1: A storage container for a round layer cake, with a surrounding cover that protects and preserves the cake.
2: A similarly shaped package for blank, recordable compact discs, with a central spindle on which discs are stacked.

As implied by that second definition, if OP specifically wants to refer to the "pole" in the middle, it's always called the spindle.
