"Billy" (Bücherregal - IKEA)


Explanation:
A linha "Billy" é uma das mais conhecidas da IKEA, loja popular na Alemanha que vende móveis para serem montados pelo comprador (ver link). Imagino que a frase se refira a ela, e que o sujeito é talentoso por montar móveis como "Billy" sem instruções. O tom, que se refere à estante como uma pessoa, também é típico da comunicação da IKEA.

Example sentence(s):
  • BILLY begann seine Karriere 1979 als schlichtes Bücherregal mit versetzbaren Böden.
