Hello, and welcome to the English We Speak.
I'm Feifei.
And I'm Roy.
I'm really impressed, Roy.
Neil said you have real clout.
What?
You mean that Neil wants to hit me?
Is he angry with me?
Oh, no, Roy.
Clout can mean to hit someone as a verb,
but it can also be used as a noun to mean your influence or fame on social media.
Neil was talking about how much clout you have with all your followers.
Ah, that kind of clout.
But I don't have that many followers.
Sometimes people get my name confused with Rob.
It's Rob who has the clout.
He has lots of followers and some real influence on social media.
He's using it to sell biscuits his mum made.
