There is a washer that instead of having a round hole has small teeth that you push on to a fastening and it holds itself on by virtue of these teeth .What do you call these washers ?

Something floats to the surface of the sewers of my consciousness muttering 'spire clip' but I am not sure if I trust it..

A push nut - like this?

grip the nut, not the shaft and I think spire clips are for self-tapping screws.

When it's a brush !!! I had the task some many years ago of translating a UK Parts List into US Dept. of Defence 'ese. Time has dissipated the the name of the paper database I was using a reference but like this OP I was trying to translate star washers, wavy washers or something similar, when I came across "Washers, urinal". Puzzlement !!

After all that I decided to go for coachbolts ,plain washers and locknuts . This is to replace the pins holding the hinges on my stepladders ( see other thread) . I'm damned if I am giving them away,freecycling them or skipping them .
