Rescue tape (a specific brand of self adhesive, stretchy and strong high-temp tape you can get at hardware stores) can work. I have not used it for more than 5kmiles on this breather tube, so I don't know how permNent it is in practice, but it does work if you can keep the tube fully connected w/o blockagre when doing it - this is not easy as the tape requires a lot of tension to stick, but it is possible.

After you fix it, you should remove it and clean the orifice with an appropriate size drill bit whenever you change the oil.
To remove it without breaking you need a special tool shown on page 3 in the PDF below or you can use small needle nose pliers.

Of course, you guys are correct. You can call it whatever you want.
We do have folks here looking for "distributors" on coil over cars, "rockers" on cars that have none, and stuff like that, so I think correct nomenclature is important.
"My round metal thing is broken" would probably get you called out though, lol!
