What does nut mean?
A hard or dry fruit that does not split open when ripe, especially one that has a single seed in a hard shell, such as a walnut or hazelnut. To hit (someone or something) with the fist, especially in a sudden or forceful manner.
Example
"The squirrel stored the acorn in a hole in the tree, but the bird tried to steal it, so the squirrel had to nut the bird away."
