Nut-cut Rudyard Kipling used the word nut-cut in his popular novel Kim (1901). This Anglo-Indian 🇮🇳 word meant a roguish individual, and was even used in this sense in mid 19th century Australia 🇦🇺. Nut-cut was derived from Hindi / Urdu नटखट naṭkhaṭ (= naughty, mischievous). https://t.co/ENCdl8i7k9
