You are adding to Nous. What is already there stays, we only add yours.

Your voice

Say it out loud, 3 to 60 seconds. Reading it is not the same as hearing it.

Explain in a street-style audio what it means and give an example of how it is used. That is all we need.

How does it sound?
Where is it said? Where the expression is used, which need not be only your own patch.

Real-life examples
  • He is clever on paper but he has got no nous, he left the car unlocked outside the shop again.

  • You’ve got enough nous to check the train times before we leg it to the station, yeah?
  • He’s lovely, but there’s not much nous there if he thinks that email wasn’t a scam.
  • Use a bit of nous, mate, if the website looks dodgy and wants your bank details, don’t just crack on.
The way it is really said, not the way a dictionary would say it.
