Buss a nut?

I just watched a prank video where a guy asks people to help him buss a nut, and he gets punched in the face. Then he shows a hammer and a nut and explains he's literally asking people to help him buss the nut. Then people split their sides laughing and I just don't get the punch line. Can someone please explain what "buss" means? and what "but" means?

You probably heard "bust a nut," which is slang for "*********."

Literally, "bust a nut" would mean "break a nut."

You're right. I might have heard it wrong. "Bust a nut" makes more sense to me. But what does it mean?

Hi

As Ozzourti writes, there is meaning to phrase that people would find offensive

I think the point of the punchline is that a mechanic may be dealing with a nut and bolt that have become rusted or fixed and therefore the nut cannot be loosened. This can only be dealt with by hitting it with a hammer. Either the nut comes loose or it breaks and you replace it with a new one.
