"Toffee-nosed" = Trưởng giả học làm sang; đua đòi; nghĩ mình có địa vị xã hội hơn người khác.
Ví dụ
“Particularly with New Town because they love to have a crack at us; they like to think of us as the toffee-nosed rich kids, even if that’s far from the truth, but that rivalry is what I really want to try and foster.”
You can’t really blame them for wanting to fly the nest – or in their case, their gilded, perpetually ridiculed cage, surrounded by stuffy tradition, granny, grandad, a cohort (bọn người tụ tập) of toffee-nosed family members and scandalous (đầy bê bối) Prince Andrew.
Located 51 kilometres away from the industrial Milan, Lake Como has always been the synonym (đồng nghĩa) for resort chic, jet set glam and caviar-soaked holidays. Being a George Clooney fan, I was always curious about this gorgeous locale as my friends would often gush about the actor’s summer home here. It’s a well-known fact that the Hollywood icon and his other toffee-nosed friends spend their vacations at his eighteenth-century Villa Oleandra in Laglio. Also, if you’re into fashion then you can’t miss Villa Fontanelle bought by the Italian designer Gianni Versace. A Medusa (an emblem (biểu tượng) of the late designer’s luxury house) sculpture (điêu khắc) can be spotted in the lawn from outside.
