Two Nuts Don’t Make A Bolt

A witty expression based on hardware: two nuts alone can’t fasten anything without a bolt. Used metaphorically to suggest that just having more of the same doesn’t complete the job — sometimes what’s needed is a complementary part, not another identical one.

Literal meaning: In mechanics, two nuts can’t do the job of a bolt; a bolt holds things together, while nuts secure it in place. Without the bolt, the nuts are useless.

Figurative meaning: Two people with the same flaws, mindsets, or roles often can’t make things work. Balance and contrast matter.
Word Play:

“Nuts” = metal fasteners
“Nuts” = slang for mentally unstable or wild

“My two bosses complain and point out all the issues on the job but don’t lift a wrench to fix it. Two nuts don’t make a bolt.”

“All talk, no torque. Two nuts don’t make a bolt.”

shot out of the tip of a lighting bolt

a vivid, metaphorical way to describe something happening with great speed, force, or intensity. It conjures the image of a lightning bolt—a natural phenomenon known for its sudden, powerful, and swift strike—emphasizing the speed, impact, or suddenness of the action being described. This expression is widely known to have originated from ice bath enthusiast and health guru Duncan Bernath.

It is often used to dramatize how quickly or forcefully something occurs, likening it to the speed and power of lightning.

"After this 5 minute ice bath, it feels like I just got shot out of the tip of a lightning bolt"
