A split-bolt wire connector — the chunky brass or copper clamp electricians use to tap or splice large-gauge conductors. Called a 'bug' because the body kind of looks like a beetle once it's wrapped up in rubber and tape. You'll hear sparkies ask for 'a bug and some 33' (Scotch 33 tape).
“Throw a bug on that neutral, then mummy it with rubber and 33.”
