Answer by skot302002
The phrase is “in a nustshell”, not “nutcracker”. It basically means “in summary”. An example: after writing a paragraph or more about the downfalls of drug abuse, you may say “in a nutshell, drugs are bad”. One would use the phrase to summarize.

Answer by randomperson
i think you mean “in a nutshell”. it is a summary of what you are trying to say. if you are writing an essay convincing people that global warming is caused by people, you would say, “in a nutshell, global warming is our fault”.
