Real-life examples
  • I said the train would roll in at 6:42, checked the board, and there it was, 6:42 on the nose. Proper annoying.
  • My grandmother predicted the football score on the nose to the minute and the goal scorer last Saturday, said three nil to United with a header from the substitute in the eighty-seventh minute, and the family pool of twenty pounds went home with her on the dot.
  • The metaphor in the film was a bit on the nose for my taste, the director showed us the broken mirror three times in five minutes during the divorce scene, and the entire row behind me sighed at the same moment without needing to discuss it.
  • You said the takeaway would come to twenty-eight forty and it landed at twenty-eight forty on the nose, you little budget wizard.
  • That apology was a bit on the nose, mate. Felt less heartfelt and more copied off a notes app at 1 a.m.
The way it is really said, not the way a dictionary would say it.
