They are called that, because they are intended for rapid assembly with little to no proper alignment needed, just slap it down and let the driver draw it in. Its all twisted up becuase the twist flattens a bit when you tighten it and that effectively locks it in place (spring tension). [better add: you don't crank them down until they are flat, just tighten it up, other wise it'll deform and do nothing]
