French term or phrase: POUSSER-POUSSER VERT--->>>A EPUIS
This curious entry is in a (vast) wholesale catalogue of sailing and boating equipment. If you search on the exactly quoted term you get pictures of switches, but none carry the description POUSSER-POUSSER. I'm guessing it's the on/off push switch in the first illustration. As for --->>> A EPUIS, any guesses?

neutral  Tony M: Unlikely, there's a special name for that; I think this is the type of button you push once to activate, and then again to relase; either it latches in or out, or else electr(on)ically it operates a 'toggling' function.

neutral  chris collister: Neither rocker nor mod, but push-on, push-off. NowI think I'll push off.

neutral  Tony M: 'Last stock' would scarecely be idiomatic in EN — and 'solde' isn't even EN at all! Please make sure the glossary entry is corrected.
