By the mid to late-1800s, the word "nut" was slang to mean a person's head. Not long after, it looks like it also acquired the meaning of someone who was not acting right in the head, e.g., a person acting strange might be described as "nuts" or being "off their nut."

National Nut Day  ( additional info ) When I was a toddler my grandparents and my parents would feed me nuts. I wasn't old enough to tell them that I didn't like it. So I would store them in the side of my cheek, yes like a squirrel.  They wouldn't see them in my cheek and would lay me down for a nap. After my nap I would unpack my cheek of the nuts when an adult would come and get me. Imagine their surprise! And fear. I took a nap with nuts in my mouth, I could have choked! After this happened once or twice they finally figured out that I didn't like nuts and they quit giving them to me.  :) Best and Worst Nuts for Your Health Watch the 1987 film Nuts Common Types of Nuts Smart is Cool Day We need to convince kids that smart is cool The Big Bang Theory , making smart cool Caps Lock Day Either celebrate this day by using no capitals at all and giving the caps lock a break OR by using the caps lock for everything!
