salted nuts

Cured legume nibbles

Salted nuts are nuts that have been roasted or processed with salt, typically eaten as a snack.

The phrase appears in humor and innuendo because of the double meaning of nuts as testicles: The flight attendant asked if I wanted salted nuts.

This wordplay makes the phrase a minor comedy staple.
