nouse or nous ... know-how; practical skills
nouse - know-how; practical skills

as in "She was self-reliant and had the nouse to get the job done."

a variation of

nous - good sense, wits, practical intellegence, horse sense

as in "My class professor doesn't have the nous to avoid back alleys."

Maybe these are more Australian than English happy
