In a nutshell = explained simply
To put it in a nutshell = to say it simply/to explain it in a simple way
- English (UK)
- Greek
- French (France) Near fluent
"To put in a nutshell" means "to sum up", "to summarize", "to explain in a few words".
"Pen down" describes the action of closing a speech, a statement or an argument. Imagine putting the pen down since there's nothing left to add.
So what you wrote means "I say this briefly and I close" or "I conclude by saying this and nothing more" etc
