Despite my (however belated) participation in the merriment above, i acknowledge your question is presumablynot just the most distasteful part of said merriment, but rather a serious question: so, in case your question was not simply another of colleagues' (and my own) grotesque parodies of this semantically and intellectually difficult term:
Nuance is occasionally used to mean "insinuation", which I for one think of mostly as insults (or perhaps in some circles, hidden meanings used
merely ostentatiously, and/or
to deliver insults, so subtly that those insulted can be mocked in the eyes of a clique, either
by indirection (if the target is thought to be so insecure about their own actual merit as to likely construe insults from others who disparage -- or even appear to take note of -- an arguable cause for disapproval).
