4 +2 | kongi pelasti |
|
saved by the bell kongi pelasti Explanation: = selvitä epämiellyttävästä tilanteesta, kun deus ex machina pelastaa (urheilussa äänimerkki ilmoittaa erän päättyneen - alakynnessä oleva -> saved by the bell) Viitteissä tarkempaa tietoa taustoista. Suomessa - vaikka urheilussa yleensä summeri pelastaakin - käytetään nyrkkeilystä peräisin olevaa "kongi pelasti" metaforisesti puhuttaessa.
