In a nutshell


Where does the expression “in a nutshell” come from?

“Pliny tells us that Cicero asserts that the whole Iliad was written on a piece of parchment which might be put into a nutshell” - Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1898

    In a nutshell - concisely expressed

    A nutshell is small enough to be a symbol for anything brief. There is no need for further explanation, though there are curious stories of attempts to copy substantial documents, such as the entire Bible, in letters so small that the resultant document will literally fit in a nutshell. Roman literature has a reference to the writing out of the whole of Homer’s Iliad (17,000 lines) in this way.

    how bout the bathtub test lol– During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

    “Well,” said the Director, “we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.”

    “Oh, I understand,” said the visitor. “A normal person would use the bucket because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup.”

    “No.” said the Director, “A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?”

    A man is at the side of the road and one of his car’s wheels has come off, and, while he found the tire, he can’t find the lugnuts. A man from a nearby insane asylum shouts out to him, “Take one nut off of each wheel and use them to put on the one that came off.” The driver replies, “That’s a great idea. I never would have thought that you would have figured that out.” The insane man answers, “I’m insane, not stupid.”

    Dear Marina,
    Thank you for another video, so soon after your Nexus video. You look great in that low-cut red dress. Your voice is smooth and flowing, with good diction, and you’re lovely to listen to. :razz:
    The term, “in a nutshell” actually refers to the concise version of a story or a summary of it. For instance, Homer’s “Oddessy” is the story of a long voyage at sea, Or the movie, “Casino Royale” is, in a nutshell, the story of a criminal who tries to obtain lots of money in a crooked card game, and James Bond must prevent this. :smile:
    In general, it doesn’t mean to own a miniature version of something. As a kid, I would glue together plastic model airplanes in 1/72nd and 1/48th scales. I would paint and decorate them to look realistic, but my parents would give them away to kids or adults who liked the models. :shock:
    It taught me some lessons: That they were just things, and I shouldn’t invest so much value to them. Besides, they made other persons happy to have them, so that’s good. (I think). :?:

    [Ariannin] (Welsh for Argentina, from arian, “silver.” :grin:

    The Welsh in Argentina:
    “The idea of a Welsh colony in South America was put forward by Professor Michael D. Jones, a nationalist non-conformist preacher based in Bala who had called for a new “little Wales beyond Wales”. He spent some years in the United States, where he observed that Welsh immigrants assimilated very quickly compared with other peoples and often lost much of their Welsh identity. He proposed setting up a Welsh-speaking colony away from the influence of English. He recruited settlers and provided financing. Australia, New Zealand and even Palestine were considered, but Patagonia was chosen for its isolation and the Argentines’ apparently generous offer of 100 square miles (260 km²) of land along the Chubut River in exchange for settling the still-unconquered land of Patagonia for Argentina.”

    Today there are still some 2,000 people in Argentine Patagonia who speak Welsh. :smile:

    It’s starring Julie Andrews, James Fox, Mary Tyler Moore, John Gavin, Carol Channing, Beatrice Lillie,
    …in a nut shell, nothing is soul much CHANGE :lol: Flappers had their own slang, with terms like “snugglepup” (a man who frequents petting parties) and “barney-mugging” (sex). Their dialect reflected their promiscuity and drinking habits; “I have to go see a man about a dog”888 often meant going to buy whiskey, and a “handcuff” or “manacle” was an engagement or wedding ring. Also reflective of their preoccupations, they had many ways to express approval, such as “That’s so Jake” or “That’s the bee’s knees,” or a more popular one, “the cat’s pajamas.”

    Many terms still in use in modern American English slang originated as flapper slang, such as “big cheese,” meaning an important person; “to bump off,” meaning to murder; and “baloney,” meaning nonsense. Other terms have become definitive of the Prohibition era, such as “speakeasy,” meaning a place to purchase illegal alcohol and “hooch,” which means ***liquor.

    A [crystal ball] is a crystal or glass ball believed by some people to aid clairvoyance.….

    How is your mom?

    Later, during central Europe’s Medieval Period (AD 500-1500), seers, wizards, sorcerers, psychics, gypsies, fortune tellers, and all other types of diviners also used crystals to “see” into the past, present, or future.—[]Celtic tribes, known to exist in Britain as early as 2,000 BC, were unified by a priesthood known as Druids. Druids are one of the earliest known peoples to have used crystals in divination. It is interesting to note that Druid religion had similarities to megalithic religion of an “earlier” Britain, thus it is possible the first use of crystal divination might have come from them.

    Due to its transparent nature, a natural gemstone called beryllium aluminum silicate (beryl) was often used for divination. Scottish Highlanders termed these objects “stones of power.” Though early crystal balls were made from beryl, they were later replaced by rock crystal, an even more transparent rock.

    How funny that you mention this.

    I randomly stumbled across that word (flapper) after foolishly watching an episode of ‘Bad Girls Club’ on the Oxygen channel when the Daily Show and Colbert report were dark last week.

    Why? My dad was born in 1916, so back in his day they referred to certain types as ‘flappers’ (although he proudly claimed ‘he was a sinner’…so I digress), and after watching that episode of the Bad Girls Club I was simply adding my commentary via Facebook while still attempting to remain comically politically polite.

    I actually thought of posting the link to the Wikipedia page here for Marina because I thought she might find that entire 1920′s American lexicon interesting…but I was afraid she might take it the wrong way. :/

    Crazy small world that you happen to mention it here.

    Idiomatic usage
    The expression “in a nutshell” (of a story, proof, etc.) means “in essence”, metaphorically alluding to the fact that the essence of the nut, i.e., its edible part, is contained inside its shell.

    The expression further gave rise to the journalism term [nut graph], short for [nutshell paragraph]… :lol: The flowers of the coconut palm are polygamomonoecious, with both male and female flowers in the same inflorescence. :lol: not a botanical nut :lol: The meat of the coconut is the edible endosperm, located on the inner surface of the shell. Inside the endosperm layer, coconuts contain an edible clear liquid that is sweet, salty, or both.

    People like you make me grateful for the day I die.

    I know what your problem is. You have Bipolar Disorder like me and you are having an obnoxious day or an high energy day. I got that way the other day and I was sharing with a woman all these premontions of my death over the years that did not take place. some days I pray GOD BE MERCIFUL AND LET ME DIE OR LEAVE TOLEDO!! I know i am not inviceable.

    Given the current American political climate – have you done the word “filibuster” yet? If not, I request it!

  • Prospero

    Oops – I am requesting the word [filibuster]. We hear a lot about filibusters these days with the health care reform in Congress.

  • Prospero

    Oh – also:

    [atheist]
    [agnostic]
    [god]

    Hey – give one of your first fans a present and do those words. Please! I think I first ran across your site when you only had 10 or 20 words out there – maybe in your first month or two. I knew instantly back then that you’d be a success.

    Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their moonshine operation.

    Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says,”Kin ya swallar?”

    The woman shakes her head no.

    Then he asks, “Kin ya breathe?”

    The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no.

    The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue.

    The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the obstruction flies out of her mouth.

    As she begins to breathe again, the Hillbilly walks slowly back to his table.

    His partner says, “Ya know, I’d heerd of that there ‘Hind Lick Maneuver’ but I ain’t niver seed nobody do it!” :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

  • beevee14

    THE md’S AND MY relatives attempts at interferrence in my life and heckling on my street make me stop caring and now i wait to die. some self righteous band of Salieri’s like in the movie AMADEUS trying to destory me by false guilt. Maybe I would like to crucify people like Dr. Rev. Julian Davies on wooden crosses and use them as human torches. they dishonor the name of christ. Cowards come on my street and heckle me and threaten me. God can let me die or God can help me leave toledo or americs. at least i am honest.

    I used to make a game out of writting to places like Cuba to suggest how they and Russia might overthrow the USA!

    I say the CIA and some doctors caused me a nervous breakdown in grad school. and since then my brothers and their MD and police friends give me me mental abuse on my street heckling my house. Some call it psychological torture what they inflict on me.

    lol the return of rosiecheeks. here comes trouble.

  • http://www.myspace.com/rexinomondo rexino13

    After my friend from Philly saw you on myspace shesent me a joke in a nutshell. I don’t know if it’s politically correct or not. LOL.

    Ya know guys, over 5,000 years ago Moses said to the children of Israel “pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land”

    Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said “lay down your shovels, sit on your asses and light up your camels, this is the Promised Land”

    Now Obama has stolen your shovels, taxed your asses, raised the price of camels and mortgaged the Promised Land
    I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, the Health Summit, lost jobs, savings, Social Security, and retirement funds, etc . . . I called Lifeline and got a freakin’ call center in Pakistan .. I told them I was suicidal and they got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck?
