sunset – WrookieSchU

It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

If you’re joining in on today’s word, feel free to use this tag to connect your post to the series: #WaynesWord

Today’s word is CLOUT.

Clout today is all about influence and impact. If someone has clout, people listen when they speak, follow what they do, and notice their style. Having clout is not just about popularity though, it is also about having a voice that carries weight.

Example:

“Wayne really has clout in the office, when he suggests a new project, everyone jumps on board.”

“Jane’s Instagram clout means her opinion on trends spreads faster than any ad campaign.”

List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter.

1 – Personal trainer

2 – Pokemon trainer

3 – Sunset watcher

If money did not matter, I would spend my days either helping people grow stronger, catching Pokémon, or watching the sun go down. Either way, I would be in my element!
