Translation of "Merest" in French

He lacks the merest grain of common sense.

Il lui manque jusqu'au minimum de bon sens.

- A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse.
- Among familiars, the merest hint suffices each to know what's going on.

Un hochement de tête est aussi utile qu'un clin d'œil à un cheval aveugle.
