No, because what does death have to do with a Brazilian nut ending up in a shell?

Plus, of course I wondered if a style of hair-trimming might be involved.

It was NUTSHELL (briefly) = NUTS (Brazilian) + HELL (where they go when they die)
simples.

Hmm. Obviously nothing to do with Aikido, at first glance.

No, I’m afraid to say it, but it isn’t.

Correct ... as is the spelling!

Both numbskull and numskull are valid spellings.
I thought numskull was the preferred US spelling.

Anyway ... do you have a word for us?

Sorry have been at work all day. Pi + X was easy but I struggled with the El + S as Spanish for dots is Los puntos I think. Anyway it was either Pixels or Pixies and that was the extent of my cognitive reach, so I gambled that you were more of a pixels guy rather than a pixies type.
