"nails" means: The four round-topped pedestals outside the Corn Exchange in Bristol on which bargains used to be struck.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

British English for a small, often independently-run shop that specialises in quick shoe repairs — replacing heels, resoling, stretching leather, and sometimes cutting keys. A staple of British high streets since the mid-20th century, heel bars are known for their tiny storefronts, the smell of shoe polish and rubber, and the remarkably fast turnaround on repairs. The term distinguishes these express repair shops from full cobblers, emphasising their speed and walk-in accessibility.
