International Nugget Nomenclature Institute

Though named "Herbert Cole Coombs"  at birth, H. C. Coombs was affectionately known as Nugget

Are our children being exposed to a military subtext as shown on these boxes? We see men clearly dressed in something that looks like a space marine uniform, wielding strange weapons while pointed at nuggety cereals.
Is there an upcoming war with some nuggety aliens or zombie nuggets, or, shudder, giant rabbits? What are these boxes trying to tell us? While the fruity nuggets look normal, these choco nuggets are vaguely unappetizing:
What scares the nuggets out of us, is the similarity with this:
Are we going to war against the Hortas. This raises an even bigger question. Are Hortas nuggets? Our research continues...

Our crack team of researchers here at I.N.N.I. have recently made a startling discovery. While pondering these:
We immediately thought of these:

Is it possible that these mysterious stones are actually the petrified remains of giant rabbits? Large rabbits that may be extraterrestrial in origin? For a rabbit to leave nuggets of that size, it would have to be huge as shown by the following artists rendering:
While more complete research is needed, the similarities are both frightening and striking. Perhaps Central America was once overrun with giant alien rabbits, terrorizing the inhabitants of the region with their giant fluffy tails and uncommonly large feet. We theorize that these stones spheres were really tributes to their fellow beings that had been squashed by these marauding creatures.

We will never know for sure, but the thought of monstrous extraterrestrial rabbits keeps us up at night. It also leads us to wonder if, in fact, the Jackalope is a far larger threat then we ever thought.
We say, beware of the hare. Our research continues....

Did you know deer nuggets are cheaper than chicken nuggets?

Chicken nuggets are $2.30, deer nuggets are under a buck...

Further to a previous posting, it appears that there are nuggets playing sport in Australia, too"




Should you be worried?

Did you know nuggeting is slang for turning someone's backpack or satchel inside out? This is an epidemic plaguing school yards worldwide. The I.N.N.I. feels that this prank is in very bad taste and present this video so you can see how it is done and so you can protect yourself from this terrible scourge.

I.N.N.I. researcher Cowboy has submitted this image that can only be described as a large mutant Nugget (of the chicken variety) haunting a building in the U.K. Is there a Nugget afterlife? Our Research Continues...

It has come to our attention that Nugget or Nuggets is frequently used to describe a certain type high quality medicinal herb, that is often smoked. Here at The I.N.N.I. we have no official position on this other than to say, Party On, Dude!

We here at the Institute have become aware of the term "Nuggets" being used to describe "a group of smokin' hot girls" as defined by the Urban Dictionary. The I.N.N.I. takes offense to this term as nuggets are not sex symbols. We find this terminology to be sexist and will not use this term in our research. Our research continues...

Earlier we discovered zombie nuggets playing basket ball with a clown like creature. Further research indicates that there is a team called The Nuggets located in Denver Colorado. Is this team made of zombified nuggets of unknown provenance?

A visit to their website revealed this ad:
This lends credence to our earlier research that some kind of zombie behavior is going on here. Nuggets selling nuggets to be eaten? Chilling. Our research continues...

Did you know that some nuggets (of the chicken variety) are not inanimate? What strange power occured to make these Nuggets become zombie like? Our research continues...

Nugget? Just a word? Or is it more? We here at the I.N.N.I. have dedicated our time (and lives) to understanding the word NUGGET in all it's diverse and wondrous usage in every day language. Current researchers feel that Nuggets can be broken down along the following lines:

1. a lump of something
2. a lump of native gold
3. anything of great value
4. a bit size piece of chicken
5. dingle berries

We believe these classifications are very worthy, but we are also interested in exploring the uses of nuggets in linguistics. This is our mission.
