Bible | Nuts were among the presents Jacob sent into Egypt for the purpose of conciliating Joseph (Gen. 43:11). This was the fruit of the pistachio tree, which resembles the sumac. It is of the size of an olive. In Cant. 6:11 a different Hebrew word ('egoz), which means "walnuts," is used. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |
Dream Interpretation | To dream of gathering nuts, augurs successful enterprises, and much favor in love. To eat them, prosperity will aid you in grasping any desired pleasure. For a woman to dream of nuts, foretells that her fortune will be on blissful heights. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |
Literature | Nuts Heads; so called from their resemblance to nuts. Probably "crack," applied to heads, is part of the same figure of speech. "To go off their nuts about ladies, As dies for young fellars as fights." Sims: Dagonet Ballads (Polly). It is time to lay our nuts aside (Latin, Relinquere nuces). To leave off our follies, to relinquish boyish pursuits. The allusion is to an old Roman marriage ceremony, in which the bridegroom, as he led his bride home, scattered nuts to the crowd, as if to symbolise to them that he gave up his boyish sports. That's nuts to him. A great pleasure, a fine treat. Nuts, among the Romans, made a standing dish at dessert; they were also common toys for children; hence, to put away childish things is, in Latin, to put your nuts away. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
Slang in 1811 | NUTS. It was nuts for them; i.e. it was very agreeable to them. NUTS. Fond; pleased. She's nuts upon her cull; she's pleased with her cully. The cove's nutting the blowen; the man is trying to please the girl. Source: 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Nuclear utilization target selection (NUTS) is a strategy for winning a nuclear war by destroying "enough" or all of the opponent's nuclear weapons in a first strike, relieving the attacker from the threat of mutual assured destruction (MAD). The strategy was first described in the 1970s, when the accuracy of the nuclear weapons became good enough to envision this scenario.However, because of nuclear missiles that can be launched from submarines (SLBMs) or mobile installations (the Soviet SS-20s), the United States really never had a chance to win a nuclear war with the Soviet Union using the NUTS strategy.
The NUTS strategy was based on what Ken Wu called an "American First Strike" capability.
The acronym itself is probably constructed as a joke on the insanity of nuclear war and the opposing strategy "MAD". This is what hackers would call a backronym.
To do:
Quotes:
- Who proposed the strategy? (Not Weinberger.)
- Did the US take it seriously?
"MAD is for the nuclear aristocracy and NUTS is for the nuclear proletariat"
"A NUTS posture lent credence to the idea of deterrence because it was believed that nuclear weapons deterred only if there was a possibility that they would be used."

A nut in botany is a one-seeded (rarely two) simple dry fruit in which the ovary wall or part of it becomes very hard (stony or woody) at maturity. Most nuts come from pistils with inferior ovaries (see flower) and all are indehiscent (do not open at maturity). Examples of true nuts are the fruits produced by walnut, oak (acorn), hazelnut (filbert), beech, chestnut, hickory, pecan, and butternut trees."Nuts" in cuisine are a much less restrictive category than nuts in botany, the term being misapplied to many seeds that are not true nuts. Any large, oily kernel found within a shell and used in food may be regarded as a nut. Because nuts generally have a high oil content, they are a highly prized food and energy source. A large number of seeds are edible by humans and used in cooking, eaten raw, sprouted, or roasted as a snack food, or pressed for oil that is used in cookery and cosmetics.
Nuts are a significant source of nutrition for wildlife. This is particularly true in temperate climates where animals such as the squirrel store acorns and other nuts during the autumn to keep them from starving during the winter and early spring.
Nuts of temperate climates are dominated by wind-pollinated trees of the Order Fagales:
Some "nuts" that are not true nuts in a botanical sense:
- acorn, the seed of the oak tree
- beech
- chestnut
- hazelnut or filbert, the seed of the hazel and cob trees
- hickory
- pecan
- walnut, which includes English or Persian walnut, black walnut, heartnut, and butternut
The "nut" of the horse-chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) is also known as a conker. Conkers are inedible but are collected and used in an old children's game, also known as conkers, in which a nut is threaded onto a strong cord and then each child attempts to break their opponent's conker by hitting it with their own. A related species, Aesculus californica, was formerly eaten by the Native Americans of California in times of famine. It must be leached to remove poisonous constituents before eating. Most types of acorns are too bitter to eat unless leached, because of tannins. Despite this disadvantage, acorns are an important food in many regions.
- almond; edible part is the seed of a drupe
- Brazil nuts are seeds from a capsule
- cashews are seeds
- coconut is a drupe
- horse chestnut is a capsule
- peanut, actually a bean; the fruit and seeds of a legume
- pine nut or piñon is the seed of a conifer
