"A banker's dozen" = một tá của chủ ngân hàng -> nghĩa là mười một (trái với a baker's dozen là mười ba).

Ví dụ
Forget Texas and Oklahoma. Here's the conference realignment (tập hợp lại) news you completely missed. There are a banker's dozen (that's 11) schools in new leagues this season. The Southland was mutilated, so let's start there.

We were first up the route that day, having camped (cắm trại) nearby, but were soon tailed by six other skiers in three parties. When we departed the summit to ski the southeast face, all 11 of us, a banker’s dozen, were on the slope together.

If you’re feeling that the low prices in some of the seven wonders destinations have crimped (dụ dỗ) your spending, you can make up for it in Rome. There’s a banker’s dozen of five-star hotels near the city’s Spanish Steps, but they seem like youth hostels compared with the Westin Excelsior’s Villa La Cupola suite.
