Depending on the context (usage), a bight [as a noun] may be a bay or gulf, a river bend, the body of water surrounded by such a bend (like an oxbow...), the middle part of a rope that is different from the ends of the rope, or the loop or bent part of a rope that is different from the ends. As a verb, it means "to fasten, or bind with a bight of rope". In Australia, the Bight (the Great Australian Bight, that is...) is that major indentation along the South coast, spanning Cape Pasley in Western Australia to the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia.
