Government / Politics
English term or phrase: down to the metal
And it was only a few years later that we have the first recorded use
of the phrase "as bold as brass." Most people think that's down to the metal. It's not; it's down to a campaigner
for the freedom of the press.

هذا الخلط يوجد في الإنجليزية فقط إذ يختفي حالما تترجم العبارة إلى العربية لأن الترجمة ستحيل إلى اسم الشخص، مثلا فلان جريء مثل براس. أظن الحل هو إضافة هذه الملاحظات أسفل الصفحة
