Am I the only one who thought "on the nose" meant something along the lines of exaggerated/too obvious, the etymology somehow stemming from something to do with "smelly"? As in, I used to be into Nine Inch Nails but now, except for The Fragile, which is awesome, I find them a bit on the nose, possibly because His Rezship is so very definitely smelly.

Apparently it means precise, spot on. Whoops.

I like my meaning better.

I've heard it used both ways, just to confuse things ;-)
