  3. “I don’t have the clout to pull it off,” she said. What she meant was, “I don’t know the people to ask for help. They might say no. It might be a failure – what if no one showed up?” All manner of excuses.

  4. I don’t really know what this word means. At first I thought it was cloud but then I got closer and there was a ‘t’ on the end. “How strange…?” I thought to myself, such an extra-ordinary word.

  5. i don’t even know what clout is. I was going to google it- in fact, I clicked the word with my mouse and opened a google tab but didn’t read it- but it would be useless since I only have sixty seconds.

  6. I glared at him. “There was no need to be so rude! She was only trying to help.”

    He turned his nose up. “Yeah, she was trying to help herself right into your pants.”

    And so I gave him a fierce clout on the head.

  8. what does that even mean like is that supposed to define someone who is big? or someone who looks like they would be a bully? what even is a bully? maybe they’re all created in our minds and we don’t actually get pushed around but we’re doing it to ourselves. i think the scariest thing ever is to think that we could all be creating our own nightmares.

  10. The morning was running away from her control. The dog had been sick in the entry, the kids had clouted each other unintentionally in the backs from their swinging backpacks, and her husband had left the house keys on the hall table.

  12. The Colossus of Clout. Honestly, I didn’t even know what clout meant. All I know was the thrill of being able to watch a, should I say, rare movie classic inspired by Babe Ruth. That was I knew about Babe Ruth.

  13. I have clout because I have earned it. I don’t pretend to be something I am not.

  14. that word looks like its mixed between two other words. so, i’m going to have to look in my vocabulary again, to see what the heck that means.

  15. I have no idea what clout is, but it could be anything. it could be the gum on your shoe or the sperm in your eyes. It could be anything or anyone and it could be beautiful or down right ugly. you never know what a word could actually mean til presented to you. Or simple it could be a made up word.

  16. the devil: a haiku

    could’ve had it all.
    self-sacrificing bastard
    ruined everything.

  17. His fur-coat carried with it the clout he had gathered over the years, along with a sizable wallet, numerous business cards, and the knife he used to slit her throat early that morning.

  18. Pretty sure I’ve used this word before … not in an everyday conversation … or even an out loud conversation. But I have read it, and written it, so … that must count for something. Shouldn’t it? I dunno, I’ll take the win.

  19. I put my hands into the ancient flames
    gently so as not to clout such fragilities
    that only burn when you when you hurt them.

    I held the thousand-year-old coals
    a thousand away years from being cold
    and knew the dance is far from being over.

  20. i don’t have any idea what i am suppose to do so . . . I’ll clout myself instead!

  21. None of the heroes in the monitor room had the clout to dispatch anyone the moon. But there was no time to continue Regus Fire who was thousands of light years away in Omnus 3.

  22. a smack. sounds interesting. a way of showing anger.
    but what’s funny is that there can be a friendly clout too.
    it’s an interesting word. sounds like cloud.
    don’t know whether it really does have a positive connotation or not.

  23. clout, do i have the clout behind this sentence? do you believe what I’m telling you? do you hear what I’m saying.I don’t want to do this anymore.

    by Crystal on 05.24.2013
  24. How much clout do you have, really, how much influence in your immediate sphere at work, with friends, with family? With strangers who see you on the street? That’s the question we as marketers are always trying to answer – find those influencers with clout and the rest will follow.

  25. i don’t know the meaning of this word. I should. I don’t know the meaning of anything much. It rhymes with drought. does it mean hitting someone? it feels negative and disturbing. it feels uncomfortable. as do i, with an english degree and no understanding of the meaning of this word. maybe it describes me.

  26. Such a hard blow. A clout to the jaw and everything spun about. He had read about people seeing stars when they were hit; his were less stars and more explosions, like fireworks only without the fun.

    by mrsmig on 05.24.2013
  27. I knew he had clout, and I knew that he would use it against me if i tried to cross him. Sitting across from me in his $2,000 suit, he smiled at me malevolently and gave me a wink.

  28. what is a clout? I have no idea what a clout is. Clout? it sounds like cloud, but with a t. I seriously have no idea what that word means. I wish I knew, then I could write about it, I guess.

  29. her blood dripped, dripped, dripped from the clout on her neck. he was right there watching her. She couldn’t wipe it away, not with him watching. The mess was getting larger and larger

  30. A clout is a thump which has humorous connotations. for example, when talking about a vicious assault, one would never say ‘he was repeatedly clouted by the gang of feral youths’. Rather I would say ‘I got in late from the pub, and got a clout for coming home late and drunk.

  31. The clout on his forehead as he reached through the rock gap knocked him backwards onto the mossy forest floor.

  32. I came upon this word one day, as i was reading through a book at the library. As i read it in my head, someone at the same time said it out loud. That word is clout

  33. The clout believe that he was the better than anyone else and had the power to do whatever he wanted to. He paid heavily for his mistakes one day when when he went too far.

  34. If I had any clout at all, he would be publicly humiliated in front of all who know him and I would finally, finally be shown to be the poor, long suffering partner of a scum sucking maggot.

  35. I have no idea what clout means but it rhymes with doubt and grout and shout and tout and laut (which is german, i know) pout and route (which actually it depends on how you pronounce it some people say “root” and some people say “rowt”.

  36. I don’t have all that much clout yet in this world, but one day maybe. Guess I need to study and get good at something before that will happen. I love learning, but hate reading textbooks and dry articles on stuff. But maybe, if I discipline myself like a french parent would their child, this is an obstacle I could overcome.

  37. I’m a…I don’t have any…he doesn’t have any…we don’t have any…please give us some.

  38. I have no idea what the fuck this means. It reminds me of The Sandlot when the kid says “The Colossal of Clout?” and then the other kid behind him repeats him, “The Colossal of Clout!” That is all. It’s so close to cloud except no one cares about this word.

    by Christy Somers on 05.23.2013
  39. A young bear who effortlessly trumps the influences of others and who surfs the skies as if water-skiing while tied to a plane would be named Kit Clout-Kicker.
    …or something.
    I think I already popped in for today’s word.
