There's a bit from one of the movies about the "battle" at Bastogne, in which Gen. McAuliffe is contacted by the German commander and asked if he wishes to surrender. McAuliffe sends a messenger out to say "Nuts!" In the movie, although AFAIK nobody has any record of this, the German officers ask each other, "Is that a negative or a positive reply?"

But in any case, Gen. McAuliffe's famed politeness and refusal to use coarse language notwithstanding, I have this feeling that replying to a call for surrender with "Nuts!" is pretty much offering to teabag the enemy commander.

On an unrelated note, I remember being told the Tau (Warhammer 40,000's version of Communist China) are sometimes called "Fish" -as in the 4th-edition mounted infantry maneuver "Fish of Fury") because many of their vehicles are named after fish. Barracuda, Hammerhead, Orca, Devilfish... wait a second, neither an orca nor a devilfish are fish. A devilfish isn't even a vertebrate. I feel cheated.
