Is the word nuts a common noun?

Yes, "nuts" is a common noun when referring to the edible seeds of certain trees or plants.

Here's why:

* Common nouns refer to general, non-specific things.

* "Nuts" doesn't refer to a specific nut (like a peanut or an almond). It's a general term for any nut.

However, "nuts" can also be used as a collective noun when referring to a group of people, usually in a slang sense meaning "crazy" or "insane".

So, it depends on the context!
