nutting

Harvesting wild almonds

Nutting is gathering nuts, especially wild ones like chestnuts or hazelnuts: We went nutting in the woods every autumn.

The word is old-fashioned and largely rural.

In vulgar slang, nutting means ejaculating, from nut as slang for testicle and orgasm: He was nutting within minutes.
