Keeping your nut low

[force majeure]

Anyone heard of this expression, link below.. to keep your nut low.
Maybe it comes from the squirreling money away analogy.
Or holding on to your cash(ew).

Hey!! I use it.  But I have no idea where I picked it up. Probably same place where I picked up "cat's meow."

I first heard it on an episode of Father Knows Best back in the 60's so it's origin is probably pretty clean.
