| about - male tétine tail piece - nipple Explanation: I find the 'male' strange - by its very design, the nipple is a 'male' part jutting out to reach the 'female part, the tail piece, no? |

peer agreement (net): +1| about - male tétine end fitting - male push-on type Explanation: Presumably "about" refers to the "end fitting" on the rigid gas pipe of the barby, to which one fits the hose from the gas bottle. Presumably also "mâle tétine" simply qualifies the form of the end fitting, as a "male push-on type", i.e. the "barbed" tubular bit that ressembles the teat (tetine) on a baby's bottle rather more than it ressembles female nipple (last time I looked). I think - if I interpret correctly, that "nipple" would be misleading here, given that a pipe nipple is a threaded pipe fitting (the barby gas pipe could have a flanged end fitting holding a large bronze nut to secure a male threaded fitting (nipple) on the end of the hose (one of those steel-braided ones, not just the CampingGaz tube) from the gas bottle, etc.). Philosophical question: why do male nipples exist, other than as just another place to sprout hair from, preferentially? Despite its apparent redundancy, the term "male (pipe) nipple" IS used, including in the barby context (but I suspect not for the system your text describes).
