agree  Ildiko Santana: Jelzőként (sőt, még névként is) talán jobb a "flukey" - lásd: (cowboy detective) "Flukey Luke was so named because of his dumb luck that allowed him to get the upper hand despite being incredibly inept." (Az én szabadfordításomban: 'Mázlista Miska' :)))

  -> Köszönöm. A flukey ritka, nagyon összefügg a "Luke" karakterrel és a lucky jelző rávilágít arra, hogy itt kifejezetten szerencséről van szó.
