"Powder my nose" nghĩa là gì?


"Powder (one's) nose" = đánh phấn lên mũi -> nghĩa là cách nói tế nhị khi muốn đi vệ sinh.

Ví dụ
I had taken a moment to powder my nose (as we no longer say ever since cocaine was found in parliamentary toilets).

At the end of the meal, she slipped off to “powder her nose”. I loaded the dishwasher, then returned to the living room and waited.

It was an upscale restaurant catering to the A-list crowd. She stood up and took her departure after the main course was served, saying “excuse me, I need to powder my nose.” The truth was she wanted to decide on a course of action to dump the loser she was with. She walked to the other side of the room. She entered the restroom.
