Bring us your expression

What they say where you're from and isn't in the Slangtionary yet

You are adding to Tough cookie. 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
  • Boss tried to rattle her in the meeting, but she just smiled, fixed the mess, and carried on. Absolute tough cookie, that one.
  • She lost her job and her flat in one week but bounced back, a real tough cookie.
  • Do not worry about him, he is a tough cookie, he has been through worse.
  • Don’t write Nan off just because she’s quiet. That woman beat cancer, buried two husbands, and still runs the whole family. Proper tough cookie.
  • He got stitched up at work, lost the lot, then started again from scratch. Tough cookie, mate. Most people would’ve packed it in.
The way it is really said, not the way a dictionary would say it.
