"Boys in the back room" or "back room boys" = những chàng trai ở hậu trường -> cụm từ này nghĩa là những người nghiên cứu bí mật.
Ví dụ
Daines inherited a nightmare because a momentum of politics and development had already been established by “the boys in the back room” and she knew it.
Karahalios, a Progressive Conservative (đảng viên đảng bảo thủ) MPP (= Member of Provincial Parliament: dân biểu quốc hội tỉnh bang), says the rules are necessary as there are currently no laws preventing "a bunch of old boys in the back room deciding, 'Hey, we think this candidate can be better' than what party membership would choose.
Indeed, in 2015, an independent assessment of paramilitary activity (hoạt động bán quân sự) in Northern Ireland reported that the ‘army council’ still existed, but had a ‘wholly political focus’. ‘The boys in the back room’ are still there and will still be there, so we should not be expecting any significant change as a result of Gerry’s impending retirement.
