You go to inflate something and the pressure of the air being blown into the hole shoots the end out, so you got to hold it in place. They are annoying, if only there was a universal standard where they clicked in.

When you push your end of the stick, the whole stick doesn't move at once. The movement travels as a compression wave along the length of the stick (at whatever the speed of sound is in the material it's made of).
