You remember the same version I do.

I just found out last year the alternate name for Brazil Nuts ('"N"-toes' for those of us who were not brought up in the South). Does that mean if I offer a black person Brazil Nuts (or as they call them in Brazil, "Nuts") I am being racist?

I heard both the eenie, meenie and Brazil nut n-versions, and I didn't grow up in the south. I had an uncle who was fond of such language. We called him Uncle Bigot.

If you really want to confuse people, call them Brazil toes!
