English term or phrase: to have some junk in the trunk (US)
Qualcuno conosce questa espressione? La situazione è la seguente: la mamma deve incontrare un ipotetico fidanzato per la figlia e la figlia chiede alla mamma cosa dirà al ragazzo per descrivere il suo aspetto. La mamma risponde: "I'll tell him you've got great eyes" e la figlia interviene con tono scherzoso dicendo: "You'll tell him I've got some junk in the trunk".

Vuol dire qualcosa come "scheletri nell'armadio" o non c'entra niente?

Grazie!
Claudia

"Digli che sono formosa e virtuosa"...

Sembra comunque che lei lo dica in modo positivo, e che quindi voglia scherzare, pur volendo valorizzare i suoi attributi.
