What's it called?

Two useful links from Lifehacker:

• To discover the unknown/forgotten word for a definition, try a Reverse Dictionary.
• If you can point to something but not name it, try a Visual Dictionary.

I haven't investigated the links in depth, and suspect they may be in American rather than English, but give them a try.

Actually, that particular Visual Dictionary is rather superficial. It's worth browsing, but I don't think I'd use it when looking for something specific.
