corknut

almond. Invented by Alex, an African Grey parrot used in language research. He combined the words "cork" and "nut" since he didn't know the name for almond

also used in the book Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. Alex makes an appearance, but the term is used by the protagonist Jimmy as an insult - someone stupid

"you are such a corknut"
