All us RQ fans watching said "He could have nutted him in RQ doing 1D6 + DB damage".

So, don't belittle the Head Butt attack!

I suspect that phrase has an entirely different meaning than the one used in the United States.

Yeah, the mental image I had was of hitting the...well...er...family jewels

Ah cultural idioms,
I once had to explain/translate some UK slang to someone. Specifically the term "shag".

My friend had a hard time figuring out what a inch thick carpet had to do with the story and why a certain character needed one and how it would resolve the current situation.

A very puzzled friend asked me why a carpet would mellw someone out.

Ah, that didn't even enter my head.

Your "nut" in English slang is your head, or can be, so to "nut him" means to head-butt him.

I don't know what "nut him" means in American.

Perhaps he should have gone and had a fag instead .....

Ok, but at least after a head butt the involved parties should suffer from reduced INT rolls for some minutes and from an extra orientation roll.

According to the Urban Dictionary....

[soltakss]

(v.) (mainly brit) To perform a quick head-butt

(n.) (Mainly Brit) Head

See? You lot must have dirty minds

[frogspawner]

Oh my god. "This product may contain nuts" the packets said. And, innocently, I ate them... <spits copiously>

[badcat]

hey, Soltakss, I'd have thought YOU lot would have picked up on some American slang during WW2.

[frogspawner]

Maybe only half a war doesn't allow time for that to happen...
