Best Answer

General Anthony McAuliffe famously replied to the German request to surrender with the English expression, "Nuts!" As you might expect, this cannot really be translated into German. Literally, it would be "Nuesse!" However, this would make no sense to German speakers. Instead, you would have to gloss it as "Unsinn" or "Quatsch" or "Scheisse," etc., to convey McAuliffe's intended range of nuance.
