Okay, let it rip!!!! Seriously, on a blog, there is a reference to using a buttplug when go handheld with a shotgun mic. What is a "buttplug"?

A buttplug is slang for a plug-on transmitter that plugs into the XLR connector on the bottom of a hand-held mic.

See http://www.sennheiser.ca/live/senn/produit/en/1304/17 and http://www.sennheiser.ca/live/senn/produit/en/221/17 for examples. Note that not all such units provide phantom power for condensor mics.
