However, the fastener itself can be identical, but called different names depending on how it is used (nut or no nut).

In the UK, if a 'bolt' that is threaded its full length is usually a set screw rather than a bolt, while a bolt has a thread that doesn't go all the way to the head. Yikes, it's easier to say give me one of those ...

As for Rob's scones, that's the perfect analogy.

Then cream...
If you try and put jam on the cream, then you get cream all over the knife and if you need more jam, then the jam jar gets full of cream.
Also, if you try and spread the jam around on the cream, the cream will just get all over the place.
If the jam didn't set, then I suppose...

How could it possibly work well with cream first and then jam ?
