What do you call the longs threaded metal rods with no head?

Those are called "threaded rod".

"Wikipedia ... it reminds me ... of dogs barking idiotically through
endless nights. It is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it.

the topmost pinnacle of posh. It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and
doodle. It is balder and dash."
