"Count noses" = đếm bao nhiêu chiếc mũi -> nghĩa là đếm số lượng bao nhiêu người trong nhóm để đảm bảo tất cả đều có mặt.

Ví dụ
Senate President Karen Fann in an interview noted how "touchy" the legislation was and that the bill's sponsor, Kate Brophy McGee, R-Phoenix, would need to "count noses" before a final Senate vote is taken. That vote is scheduled for Thursday.

Making decisions on public infrastructure (cơ sở hạ tầng) isn’t as simple as polling residents, according to Hovland. “Our job has never been to count noses. Our job has been to make a decision in the best interests of the entire community. Even in neighborhoods,” he said.

“It’s well past time for this guy, in my opinion, to be carted off to save us all,” Weld added. “He’s daring us all to let him be totally lawless. He has no respect for the law, he has no knowledge base under any issues. Why do we want this man as president of the United States? I don’t get it. Now the path is clear. It’s a whole new level, and we have to count noses among the Republicans in the Senate. If they won’t say this is a bridge too far for us, then they really have no chance at the ballot box next year, not just President Trump but those members of the Senate.”
