Macadamia or pecan (3)
I believe the answer is:
nut
I believe this is a double definition.
'macadamia' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'pecan' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for nut that I've seen before include "Screwball" , "Head; hard fruit" , "organized teachers" , "needing to get tight?" , "Cashew or hazel" .)
