I had to look that word up and now I feel like a dope because I’m practicing guitar. I’ve always heard it refereed to as a “pick”, but then I guess that’s both less sexy and kind of gross.
If it’s any kinda consolation, that’s what I’ve usually heard it referred to as too. I think people less commonly refer to it as a plectrum… even professional musicians! 😛
unbolt me 
Great fun. Brevity is everything.

I never use a plectrum. Can’t use them. I’m all fingers & thumbs.

I prefer fingers too… but not to play guitar with.
