"As queer as a nine bob note" nghĩa là gì?
01 Aug, 2021
"As queer as a nine bob note" -> nghĩa là sai trái, hoàn toàn không đúng, giả mạo.
Ví dụ
A ‘Nine Bob note’ which was made for use in a club event organised by Duckie in 2008: Gay Shame Goes Macho. Featuring the image of gangster Ronnie Kray instead of Queen Elizabeth, the design skilfully evokes (gọi lên) the appearance of the original ten shilling note which was in circulation until 1970. The ten shilling note was bound with the popular expression 'as queer as a nine bob note'.
Admittedly, the fact that I had the uncanny (kì lạ) feeling of suddenly finding my queerness so clearly reflected in a game I had loved as a child while playing Final Fantasy 7 should, perhaps, have come as no surprise. To paraphrase (diễn giải dài dòng) Paris is Burning: it is a known fact that Final Fantasy 7 do be as camp as a row of tents and as queer as a nine-bob note.
Who remembers the ten-shilling note or the ten bob note as it was once known? The note was withdrawn (rút) from circulation (lưu hành) in 1970 and disappeared in tandem with the popular expression with which it was so closely bound, ‘as queer as a nine bob note’.
