By the rules of poker, OP is entitled to the whole pot. By the rules of human decency and common sense, opponent should at least get a chop. Believe it or not, the rules of the latter do (or should) hold at the poker table.

suppose OP said " i have the 3rd nut low" instead and the other guy folded, and the same events ensued, do you still give it to the idiot who folded his hand after seeing the OP's hand face up on the table?

Yes, that changes nothing. The point is that the OP could not conceivably have had the best hand, and accidentally tricked his opponent into mucking.
You don't go into a hand hoping to win it when your joke at the end confuses your opponent and makes him muck the best hand at showdown. Opponent was an idiot and OP did nothing wrong, but keeping the whole pot in this instance would strike me as a sort of retroactive angle shoot.
