An analogy for obvious. This was originally coined by a pharmacy professor at the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio. The professor was referring to Phineas Gage, a 19th century railroad worker, who suffered a freak accident when an explosion catapulted a large piece of iron through his skull and into his frontal lobes. An injury that was anything but subtle.
Professor: "what's an antibiotic used for?"
Student Bob: "Uh, there is an inhibitory, Uh, upregulation and, Uh half life ..."
Professor: "An antibiotic kills bacteria. Bob, the answer was like a nail in the head and somehow you completely missed it"

Get the Nail bomb mug.Nabilaa is a very popular female Arabic name. Most girls or women with this name, on one side, tend to focus a lot on studies. They can also be very jumpy and fun to hang out with on another side. Nabilaas love to have lots of privacy too. They often care a lot about beauty too and are always prepared to go to a party.
"GET OUT OF MY ROOM!!" , nabilaa might say to gain privacy. Or "Dang, look at Nabilaa! I called her 10 minutes ago and told me she was getting ready, and now she's gorgeous!" " That was quick man! She cares about beauty!"
