Nails every call?
Hi,
I borrowed some old Times magazine for my cousin and skimming over those 'interesting' articles.
With my dictionary, things seem going well, until i came across "No columnist nails every call." What does that mean? Keep on track?

Hi, Without any context, my guess is it means 'No columnist always makes excellent decisions'. 'A call' is slang for a decision. What's the context?

Sorry for replying late, it's Joe Klein column on December 6 last year, explaining why he was wrong about privatizing social security. A funny guy.

To hit the nail on the head is a figurative expression meaning to be exactly correct. This is a variation of that, meaning to be correct. [nail = capture (even as to catch a thief); call = opinion, choice (what's for dinner? ~ it's your call)]
