The Bulldog clip design was tied specifically to having a ring of metal with "teeth" around the clamping plates. My father used to have several of these, in the US, actually engraved with "Bulldog" around the clamp portion. target.scene7.com/is/image/Target/…

I'm a native speaker and have worked in IT for over 20 years in America and never heard it used either; common short hands for "notification" which I have heard are: "notice," "pop-up," "note," and (only from two particular, older people) "tickler."
