It means you put the whole answer, usually simple and short into one package. It is supposed to be easy to understand but can also be a put down to the person it is aimed at. So in a nutshell that is the answer. If you see what i mean? Johnno

I think... and I could be completely wrong.. that it's because when you say "in a nutshell" it's like a brief summing up... would fit in a nutshell, kind of thing... if that makes sense...

Because they want an answer that'll fit into the smallest pub in the United Kingdom - The Nutshell in Bury St. Edmonds.

All the facts you need in a very small package. One nutshell.

Just a guess: becuase nutshells are small and they are summing up the information into a small story.

I think in a nutshell means someone who doesn`t mix with other people, always in his or her own little corner,sometimes shy, and very reserved

because nutshells are small so you would have to sum up what you are saying

you wouldn`t read the entire encyclopedia Britannica in order to to answer just `YES` or `NO` which you would be able to put in a nutshell

to sum it all up in a nutshell means to basically say what it all comes down too.
to just give the botom line, if you know what i mean.

Ever because of the fact i grew to become into little and til on the present time i've got constantly referred to as my mum "Mummy" and my dad "Daddy". in simple terms because of the fact they on no account responded to "mum"/"dad". and that's often caught, i assume. comparable with my siblings, too. I swear each time my mom calls me at artwork, and that i answer asserting "hi, mummy", i'm getting the main strangest seems from my artwork colleagues. They constantly discover that hilarious and often take the mic. and that i will extremely see why that's humorous lol yet, it is not in any respect replaced, and that i doubt it is going to. mothers and fathers will constantly be Mummy and Daddy. And particularly because of the fact they gained't respond to the rest from their toddlers! : )
