on the nose

1. Precisely correct, without any error.

2. Unsubtle or overly and clumsily direct. Used when characters in a narrative leave no room for subtext with their eye-rollingly obvious dialogue. Not a general term for bad writing.

1. Guess how many beans in this jar. Forty thousand and one? On the nose, ladies and gentlemen!

2. Excuse me, but I don't quite think we should have Helga say "I am sad. I hate you and you smell." It's a bit on the nose.
