‘In a nutshell’....
In a few words; concisely. Summed up briefly. Origin: The phrase originates in an ancient story, described by the Roman scholar Pliny in AD 77, that the great philosopher Cicero witnessed a copy of Homer’s epic poem the Iliad written on a piece of parchment that was quite small enough to fit into the shell of a walnut. |

The term N-Word.
Meaning: another term for a well-known slur. Origin: I think former prosecutor, Christopner Darden, coined the term N-word. The first time I heard it was during the OJ trial when Darden said “N-Word” and refused to use the slur when questioning Office Mark Fuhrman on Furhman’s usage of the slur. |
