British slang for a dingleberry — a small, unpleasant clump of fecal matter that clings to body hair. The word has a wonderfully blunt, northern-English texture to it: 'clag' is a dialect word for sticky mud or a clinging mess, and 'nut' completes the image. It's gross, it's juvenile, and it absolutely thrives in school-yard insult culture. Sometimes used metaphorically for a clingy or irritating person who just won't leave.
He called his little brother a clagnut and got sent to his room for the rest of the afternoon.
