peer agreement (net): +1verschijning (persoon, persoonlijkheid) is buitengewoon betoverend / is uitermate charismatisch Explanation: I don't know the movie (so I don't know the broader context, if any), but it must be something like that, I guess. mojo = magie, magische kracht manifestation = manifestatie, geestverschijning (both from Van Dale Groot Woordenboek. Also see various online dictionaries). Also see nr. 3 of above reference info from Writeaway, that's what it must be! |

peer agreement (net): +1manifestatie is cool! Explanation: "Manifestatie" verwijst hier naar "manifestatie van wensen" volgens het in de VS superpopulair boek "The Secret" van Rhonda Byrne. De theorie van dit boek is dat als je iets wilt verkrijgen, je het eerst moet inbeelden ("visualiseren") en dan zal het zich "manifesteren". Dus de persoon die in je brontekst aan het woord is, zat in te beelden dat hij ooit in de talkshow van Oprah zou verschijnen, schreef dat ook op in zijn dagboek (wordt aangeraden in 'The Secret") en yohoooo - wat later zit hij inderdaad op haar show. Vandaar: "Manifestatie werkt!" of "Manifestatie is cool!" |

manifestatie werkt als tovermiddel Explanation: Een combinatie van Bea's achtergrondkennis (het boek 'The Secret', wat ik eerlijk gezegd nooit heb willen lezen) en mijn muzikale achtergrond (Got My Mojo Working, heb ik vaak gezongen en gespeeld met een bluesbandje). |
