"Fibber McGee's closet" nghĩa là gì?
28 Sep, 2021
"Fibber McGee's closet" = tủ quần áo của Fibber McGee -> nghĩa là bừa bộn, lộn xộn, không ngăn nắp. Fibber McGee là nhân vật tiêu biểu trong trương trình đài phát thanh The Fibber McGee and Molly lên sóng vào giữa thế kỉ 20, tủ quần áo của anh được biết đến là luôn tạo ra âm thanh ầm ĩ.
Ví dụ
I used to write about the surprises I often find in my garage freezer (tủ đông). I used to call it Lee’s Freezer Diary. The truth is that if I kept a diary, perhaps there wouldn’t be surprises, since the freezer often looked like Fibber McGee’s closet.
But the classic gag (câu đùa) was “Fibber McGee’s closet.” It first ran on March 5, 1940, in an episode, “Cleaning the Closet.” When Fibber was hunting his dictionary, he remembered it was in the hall closet. Molly opened the door only to be buried (vùi lấp) beneath a mountain of stuff.
There, tucked (giấu kín) behind the control tower in a corrugated-metal (tấm kim loại) hangar that bakes in summer and can get downright nippy (tê buốt) come winter, is a veritable (thực sự là) Fibber McGee’s closet crammed with every piece and part that could have any possible use on a Twin Beech: four partially assembled airframes (khung máy bay), antiquated (cổ xưa) flight instruments, engine and airframe components, and shelf upon shelf, box upon box, of fittings, fasteners, and other thingamabobs.
