gnat's

Belonging to midge

Gnat's is the possessive form of gnat, the tiny flying insect.

It appears almost exclusively in expressions emphasizing smallness: a gnat's eyelash, a gnat's whisker, a gnat's ass.

These phrases describe margins so small as to be negligible: He missed the target by a gnat's whisker.
