split shot

Small lead pellet

Split shot refers to small lead weights used in fishing, split partway through so they can be clamped onto a line to add weight: I pinched a few split shots above the hook to get the bait deeper.

In coffee, a split shot is an espresso made with half regular and half decaf: I'll have a split shot latte.
