"The thinking man's crumpet" nghĩa là gì?
23 Oct, 2020
"The thinking man's/woman's crumpet" có crumpet là cái đầu -> cụm từ này nghĩa là người vừa thông minh vừa rất hấp dẫn.
Ví dụ
The journalist (nhà báo) and presenter Joan Bakewell says that being called “the thinking man’s crumpet” would be offensive (xúc phạm) today — but believes that political correctness is out of hand (ngoài tầm kiểm soát) and hampering (làm cản trở) free speech. Bakewell was given the nickname by Frank Muir, the comedy writer, during her time on the BBC show Late Night Line-Up in the 1960s and 1970s.
The sassy (tươi tắn, bảnh bao) 37-year-old star of the cult TV series that ran into the noughties, who continues to be the thinking man's crumpet, is as sassy in real life as she was on the screen. "Next question," she demanded when asked if she followed through and cancelled her subscription (kí tên) to Vogue after tweeting she would when the fashion bible released its April issue with reality TV star Kim Kardashian West and rapper Kanye West on the cover.
Long hailed as ‘the thinking woman’s crumpet’, the actor, 73, appears to have lost none of his appeal (độ hấp dẫn). How does he do it?
Perhaps it is his face that has, until now, prevented Cumberbatch from entering the major league. Despite his burgeoning (đâm chồi) status as the thinking woman's crumpet – "weirdly fanciable" is the phrase most associated with his physique – he doesn't possess the obvious, symmetrical (cân đối) looks of a star.
