skromný ranař, skromná mlátička Explanation: Alespoň v tomto příkladu o Jackie Chanovi: Mr. Tucker and Jackie Chan turned 1998's Rush Hour into an out-of-left-field hit, Mr. Chan's first in the States after years of success in Hong Kong. They made a winning pair, the motor-mouth wisecracker and the humble butt-kicker, and they managed to play with the idea of racial humor and differences without crossing the lines of bad taste. |

Reference: Kick butt - vysvetleni - US Reference information: Kick butt znamena doslova i prenesene nakopat do zadku a nekteri lide to potrebuji, aby udelali bud to, co je spravne, nebo to, co by meli udelat, atd. A butt-kicker je nekdo, kdo jim ten zadek nakope a primeje je k cinnosti. A pokud to dela skromne a nezistne, muze byt humble. Kdyz uvedete vic souvislosti, dostanete presnejsi odpoved, ktera sedne, pohanec nebo ranar jsou dle meho nazoru (US anglictina) pouze priblizne vyrazy, zvlaste bez souvislosti. Cech, ktery rekne, ze poradna facka je lepsi nez pul hodiny zbytecneho vysvetlovani, a ukaze to nazorne, muze byt charakterizovan jako butt-kicker (usmev) |
