carrying a chip on your shoulder. търся повод да се скарам (с някого) Explanation: а също и "избивам комплекси" ... в зависимост от контекста. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2010-04-12 11:03:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In Britain and Ireland, it also has a meaning of somebody who has a self-righteous feeling of oppression or inferiority which they never miss an opportunity to flaunt. (This feeling is sometimes called 'chippiness' or 'being chippy'.) The implication of looking for a fight is less strong. It more implies trying to gain the upper hand through second-hand moral superiority. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 32 mins (2010-04-12 11:22:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "крив ми е светът" се сещам в момента. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-04-12 12:26:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- -- "наежен като таралеж/глиган/петел/младо петле" -- "заядлив като ротен старшина" |
