Cuts? Nothing's been mentioned (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nicks

'cuts?' is the definition.
(nick is a kind of cut)

'nothing's been mentioned' is the wordplay.
'nothing' becomes 'nix' (nix can mean nothing).
'been mentioned' shows a homophone (sound like).
'nix' sounds like 'NICKS'.

(Other definitions for nicks that I've seen before include "Pinches (slang)" , "Small cuts" , "Slangily steals or notches" , "Arrests (slang)" , "Pinches or makes a small cut" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
