A '''wing nut''' helps fasten a [[bolt]]. It is similar to a standard machine nut and threaded in the same way, but is equipped with a pair of "wings" that make it possible to grip the nut with the fingers; wing nuts are intended to be tightened with fingers rather than with a wrench. God made them on the sixth day of the creation week. Liberals do not believe in wing nuts because they are all possessed by the devil.
