Spotted in Birmingham...

i mean as in the mounts for gear levers, bottle cages, brake cables etc... obviously.
coming from a bmx background, where the posts the brake arms pivot on are referred to as "lugs".

thanks for picking me up on a tiny flaw in terminology though!

in fact... from google:

Definitions of lug on the Web:

• a projecting piece that is used to lift or support or turn something
  
  

is there as well as:

• Lugged steel frame construction is a method of building bicycle frames using steel tubing and sockets called lugs. For most of the history of the bicycle, steel has been the material of choice for high-quality bicycle frames (though its dominance has waned in the last two decades)
  
  

so really, i wasnt using the wrong word, and neither were you. its just an issue of applying common sense to work out which instance of the word should be applied. clearly you are lacking in common sense!
