Dead Nuts
Posted by S. M. Adams on May 12,
2002 Does anyone have an understanding of the origins of the phrase
"dead nuts", meaning "accurate" or "perfectly sized". I have come across this
phrase in the tool & die industry where it is universally understood. Any ideas
in origins? I'm stumped as to even a folk etymology.
