Help please! My last one. I'm sure this must be obvious but I can't work out what it is.

17 & 26a: Colours may be and lie maybe with small child "male nuts) (6,2,3,4)

I've worked out NAILED (anagram of AND LIE), TOT (small child), HE (male), but can't get the "nuts" part, so my answer is missing the last word.

NAILED TO THE ?A?T

I can think of many words which will fit into ?A?T but none seem to relate to "nuts". Can anyone help please?
