RE: What do you call the triangle-twist-open thingie?

   They are "progressive disclosure controls" or "progressive-disclosure
   controls" if you want to fix Microsoft's punctuation:

   Many web sites these days use a triangle-shaped icon ... click it, and
   it
   rotates 90 degrees to display something (text, links, etc.) that was
   previously hidden.
   I call them "twist controls" but one of my SMEs says they are
   "accordion"
   controls.
   What do my fellow tech whirlers refer to these as?
