Never heard them called twirlies. I usually call them cavvies or cavity fixers.
Mungos ? Lol that ones got to be explained.
why do we call red wall plugs, rawplugs?

I can't think of a better plasterboard fixing than the spring toggles (especially if what your fitting has any weight to it) that have been around now for donkey's years. I certainly would never trust these Twirlies, ...over tighten just a little and your fixings gone!!
Agreed, but they do have some major drawbacks in fitting - having to fix them 'complete' through the material being fixed, needing about five hands if it's something big, having to tighten them at first using a pull and turn, one-time use, and if say on a 4-point fix you need to take just one out then you loose all four! Plus, you normally end up needing a load of penny washers at the load end as the heads are too small on the M4/M5 threads.
I always thought the collapsible bolts were called Spits because they were a pin in the bum when used with the little spanner that came with them.
I then discovered Spit was a brand name. After that I discovered there was a fixing tool. Use them all the time now. Well, apart from fitting socket and switch front plates!!
