Algo relacionado a botón: La palabra zipper.
En el diccionario dice que la palabra es cremallera en español. Yo siempre usé zipper. ¿Que es la palabra común para zipper? |

In Spain we say cremallera.
An anecdote: When my eldest son was little he would call my husband when he went to the toilet and say: "Papá, límpiame el botón"...

En Centroamérica, se dicen cierre o zíper por cremallera. Jamás he oido cremallera antes de hoy.

Another observation: I've noticed that Spanish speakers sometimes use botón for a knob that can be turned.
