Asker: Hvala! nije za ovaj slučaj; inače ovo što ste naveli na hrvatskom glasi 'glumiti frajera'

neutral  Sladjana Spaic: U nacelu je prevod tacan, ali mislim da se u ovom slucaju fraza ne uklapa u kontekst; biznis i frajeri, pomalo nekako neozbiljno:-) Da, i u originalu se mogao naci adekvatniji izraz.
