Perhaps we could rename the case-head 'case-trousers'. That, after all, is where the pocket is. Ah - so maybe it's a marsupial? Or perhaps it is an arachnid, what with the web and all?

'Head' for bullet will be as wrong in 20 years' time as it is now. Or as right. We should perhaps simply bow to the power of lowest-common-denominator ignorance? It seems to carry the argument with respect to every other damned thing.
Sadly this may mean that I get STM pins stuck in my cases Anus.....
