I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bullet' is the definition.
(I know that bullet can be written as slug)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for slug that I've seen before include "Bullet -- shot of liquor" , "slimy type" , "Heavy blow for snail lacking shell" , "Shell-less mollusc ? bullet" , "Live" .)
