OK. There's a fierce battle brewing in my family surrounding the phrase,
"Make the nut". The phrase literally means "covering one's expenses", as in
a business sense, but can be more loosely used to convey the idea of "making
the grade" or "living up to a certain standard".
Anyone out there ever heard of this expression? It is a bit obscure, but I'm
certain it exists. If anyone knows of it, can you point me towards some sort
of documentation?
TIA
Ken
