"Look what the cat dragged in" = coi con mèo lôi cái gì vô kìa -> coi ai tới kìa, thường ám chỉ những người khó chịu, không thú vị.
Ví dụ
I’d flown back from Mexico City after a month working in the States (USA). I’d done so only to remind my long-suffering (chịu đựng) family of my existence. It was a good thing that I did. The two dogs sniffed me suspiciously (khả nghi), egged on (lôi kéo làm việc sai trái) by my pig (tên chỉ điểm), Wilbur, who was hurling (lật nhào) abuse from his enclosure (hàng rào). Even the cat gave me a “look what the cat dragged in” attitude.
The guy, who claims he’s been nicknamed “Cat Man,” said those cats are fed as much as 11, 25-pound bags of cat food a week and that he brings in several cans himself, thus his nickname, to supplement (bổ sung) their diet that originally consisted of rodents (loài gặm nhấm), and why they were first brought into the swampland location, giving more explicit (rõ ràng) meaning to the saying, Look what the cat dragged in.
Upon arrival, guests were greeted at the valet (người phục vụ) with iced coffees from a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf stand (quầy), but for those looking for a more mellow (thư giãn) start to the day, servers stood right by the entrance toting (cốc rượu nhỏ) trays of mini Don Julio bottles filled with signature cocktails. Christina Hendricks grabbed one as she walked inside in a floral dress. “Well look what the cat dragged in,” she said with a smile, as her Good Girls costar Retta strolled in wearing a flowy blue dress. “You look amazing!”
