Bight, on a bight, mid-rope knot

View image
A bight of rope.

A piece of the middle of the rope that is folded in half, creating an untied loop. When a knot is then tied using that loop, resulting in a knot with one or more loops that can be used to clip into a carabiner, the knot is described as being "on a bight". Most knots used in rigging fall into this category.
