spondonicals

Spondonicals is another name for billy grips: a sort of detachable pot handle, which you can use to grip the edge of a pot on a campfire.

I first encountered the term on an Australian “bush-walking” site (linked above), which quotes someone as saying that the term derives from a Three Stooges movie.

For more details, and some variations, see the Macquarie Dictionary.
