Yow, Horace, you’re gonna eat it, not impregnate it! < shudder >
Looks like a tough nut to crack.
Wow.
“Botanically, a nut is a hard, indehiscent (not opening to discharge seeds), simple, dry fruit, whereby the plant’s ovary wall becomes very hard (stony or woody) at maturity, and where the seed remains unattached or unfused with the ovary wall.”
Ovary wall. I did not know that.
“Highballs and cocktails — the long and short of it.” (William Powell, The Thin Man, 1934)
Workshop of nuts :)) They say “nutcracker.” Shouldn’t that be then called “ovarycracker” instead? Sounds brutal?
