some right namby-pambys Explanation: There are countless possibilities like wuss, weakling etc. I like namby-pambys for the sound which for seems to echo pippe -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2017-05-27 08:08:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or Pambies for the plural. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2017-05-27 08:09:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops: seems to echo |

big-time tossers Explanation: If the translation is into UK English, perhaps "w***ers" would be better. My asterisks here are to spare the blushes of our more goody-goody colleagues. This being police tough-guy talk, any attempt to do a "politically correct" translation would be...politically incorrect. Read any decent crime novel and you'll find swear words and "bad language" everywhere. So-- let yourself go! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-05-27 08:52:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.garzantilinguistica.it/ricerca/?q=pippa |

If you want a definition of insanity, see Trump. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day22 hrs (2017-05-29 06:44:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Try here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1... =) |
