The American officer who delivered McAuliffe’s message to German officers clarified that, “If you don’t understand what ‘nuts’ means, in plain English, it is the same as ‘Go to hell.’”",

She was just a host for Sirleck, and didn't have any agency to speak of.Later on, I decided \"nuts to that\".Granted, Ellen's not literally holding Sirleck back like that. Technically, the real Sirleck doesn't even have arms. This is a visual comic, however, so darn it, let's get metaphorical about it.",

The American officer who delivered McAuliffe’s message to German officers clarified that, “If you don’t understand what ‘nuts’ means, in plain English, it is the same as ‘Go to hell.’”",
