Jesus nut 

Anything that holds together a critical assembly, such as a main roter on a helicopter. If the nut, bolt ect. in question fails then the equipment will catastrophically fail and everyone in/around it will be on their way to see Jesus.

"Tighten that damn Jesus nut down good cause I ain't in the mood to see him today".

Jesus nut

The critical bolt or nut in a helicopter that holds the main rotor in place. If it fails or detaches mid-flight, the copter comes crashing down very fast and everyone inside goes straight to Jesus!

Co-pilot: Looks like the Jesus nut YEETED mid-flight! You know what's going to happen NOW!

Everyone inside the helicopter: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-*goes straight to Jesus*
