"(Yes sir, no sir) three bags full (sir)" = ba túi đầy, là cách nói mỉa mai người nào luôn tuân lệnh/ đồng ý mà không cần biết đúng sai. Cụm từ này xuất phát từ bài hát thiếu nhi "Baa Baa Black Sheep"
Ví dụ
The sight of of the head of the Reserve Bank (Ngân hàng Dự trữ) saying Yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir to Frydenberg would have been even more sickening (phát ốm) if it had not also been so transparent (minh bạch) as to be hilarious.
I know liquor (rượu chè) is often known as "liquid courage" (nước dũng khí) but when I was young I snuck (lẻn về) home, tried to be quiet, and avoided any confrontation (chạm trán) with my parents. If caught it was "Yes sir, no sir, three bags full."
“We’re going to need a [defense secretary] who doesn’t just say 'yes sir, yes sir, three bags full' in the Situation Room,” said Jim Townsend, who served as a deputy assistant secretary of defense (phó trợ lý thư ký bộ Quốc phòng) for Europe until 2017 and worked with Esper when Esper previously served at the Pentagon (Lầu năm góc) during the George W. Bush administration (chính quyền).
