  • 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.
