Might just be my ignorance, but here are two to get us started:
1) Those little circular bits of paper that are produced when you use a hole punch
2) Those curled-up paper things you blow at parties (ooer!) which unravel and make a pathetic squeaky duck-call sound
Are there others?

Surely George Bush jnr didn't cheat his way to the US presidency?
Surely all votes from black voters were included?
Surely his brother didn't deliberately miscount the votes in his Florida constituency?
Surely corruption of this level couldn't possibly happen in the United States?0 -

I don't know why, but I always called 2 a party streamer. A search on google images tells me I was wrong. Party blower seems the most correct.0

What about that gunk that gets on the feet of your computer mouse? Not the fluffy stuff that used to get inside the old trackball mice, but the stuff that accumulates on and sticks to the tiny rubber feet of the mouse. That needs a specific name.0

Its called gunk mate0

the streets that U2 sing about
the time gap between thunder and lightning
people with plastic flags on their cars for a couple of months
the emotion felt by a scapegoater when a scapegoat has a successful and totally unscapegoatable game
the synchronised yet independent standing up to leave of hundreds of East Standers, sometime between 4:35 and 4:440 -

No, the filtrum is the bit at the bottom of your nose.

What is the name of those rumoured little metal things that have Charlton Life on them and are attached to your clothing with a pin ?0

Douglas Adams dealt with this years ago by attaching strange british place names to unnamed things.
My favourites were, if I recall correctly;
A fart in the bath: "Brompton"
That sticky nasal discharge thats too thick to be snot, but not solid enough to be a bogey: "Skegness".
Douglas Adams: comedy genius. Sorely missed.
