nut
When referring to a person, "nut" is informal and can be used either as a lighthearted way to describe someone's obsession (e.g., a "movie nut") or as a mild insult meaning crazy. In technical contexts involving hardware, the term always refers to the female-threaded part that pairs with a bolt. As a verb, "nut" is quite rare and primarily used in specialized mechanical or construction settings.
