Guess the Idiom - сыграем?

[Eager Beaver]

Предлагаю сыграть в игру.
Нужно угадать идиому по определению. Угадавший предлагает следующее определение. Идеально, если определение не будет гуглимым.

Я начну.

If you have _ _ _ (_) _, you are good at talking to people in an interesting, entertaining and persuasive way.

Каждое подчеркивание означает одно пропущенное слово, в том числе артикль.

[Aksamitka]

Каждая точка означает одно пропущенное слово, в том числе артикль.

Может, лучше подчеркивание? Так будет выразительнее.

[Eager Beaver]

The gift of the gab

Right on the money! Your turn.

Btw, the American version would be "to have the gift of gab" or "to have the gift for gab".

Here are a few examples of how this idiom is used:
* I didn't know what to say - I don't have the gift of the gab like you.
* The salesman had the gift of the gab and persuaded Dave to buy both.
* Terry's certainly has the gift of the gab - he should have his own radio show.

That's one of the reasons we are playing definitions, which are far easier to amend, and not specific examples from digitized books or other googlable resources.
