Discussion on another site:
What is the difference between a "screw" and a "bolt"?
(Please remember: "family friendly", and at least *try* to stay in topic for first couple of replies )
One interesting definition someone posted:
A "bolt" is tightened by turning a nut onto it, whilst holding the "'bolt" stationary.
A "screw" is tightened by rotating it.
It seems to be accurate - but I don't think I've ever seen it expressed like that.
