 I think it’s cashu > cashew > nuts > deez nuts 
 makes sense 
 I would've guessed because nuts are small atomic highly nutritious units of energy that can be easily passed from one hand to another. 
 This makes a lot of sense, not sure most minds would make that connection right away 
 Despite bring amusing, not convinced the naming of nuts is optimal beyond the dev environment. 
 Cashew > e-cash – I thought it was a play of words 
 🤔
