peer agreement (net): +1pojeździć sobie na nich Explanation: pojeździć sobie - czyli odegrać się, dowalić komuś (nie dosłownie, tylko w przenośni), odegrać się na kimś - IMHO o to chodzi The Man = Oni Kim są Oni? Wiesz kim są. Oni są wszędzie: w Białym Domu, na korytarzu, pani Mullins; ona jest Nimi. A Oni zrobili dziurę ozonową, wycinają dżunglę w Brazylii... za: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man Dewey Finn in the movie The School of Rock defines The Man thusly: "The Man. Oh, you don't know The Man? The Man's everywhere: in the White House, down the hall, Miss Mullins; she's The Man! And The Man ruined the ozone, and he's burning down the Amazon and he kidnapped Shamu and put her in a chlorine tank! Okay! And there used to be a way to ===>stick it to The Man, it was called rock 'n roll. But guess what? Oh no! The Man had to ruin that too with a little thing called MTV! So don't waste your time trying to make anything cool or pure or awesome 'cause The Man's just gonna call you a fat washed up loser and crush your soul. So do yourself a favor and just give up!" |

dowalić/nie dać się władzy Explanation: przeciwstawić się władzy dowalić władzy pokazać im nie dać się im powiedzieć im "nie" czy co¶ w tym stylu "The Man" is a slang phrase, associated with the counterculture, used to describe higher authority. This "man" does not usually refer to a specific individual as such, but instead to the government, leaders of large corporations and other authority figures; its meaning is pejorative. The phrase ***"stick it to The Man"*** encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist"; however, this is also mostly used facetiously. http://www.answers.com/topic/the-man -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs 57 mins (2005-10-18 16:47:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ups, dopiero teraz zauważyłam, że MrMarDar już zaproponował "dowalić", sorry... |
