ⓘ Come on down! Il s'agit de la formule consacrée du jeu télévisé The Price is Right (dont l'équivalent français est Le Juste prix) qui débuta en 1957 aux États-Unis, et dans les années 80 en Grande-Bretagne. L'animateur de l'émission prononçait ces paroles ("Descendez!") pour inviter les membres du public sélectionnés pour participer au jeu à venir le rejoindre sur la scène. Aujourd'hui on utilise cette formule plaisamment pour dire à quelqu'un d'approcher ou bien pour indiquer à quelqu'un qui doit prononcer un discours ou se produire sur scène qu'il est temps de prendre place.

ⓘ Come up and see me sometime... Cette formule fut utilisée pour la première fois par Mae West dans le film de 1933 She Done Him Wrong (dont le titre français est Lady Lou); la citation exacte était en fait Why don't you come up sometime, see me? ("Pourquoi est-ce que tu ne monterais pas un de ces jours, pour me voir?"). Il s'agit de l'archétype de l'invitation au badinage. Encore aujourd'hui on utilise cette formule en imitant l'air canaille de Mae West.

Note:

Poco può essere usato come aggettivo, pronome, sostantivo e avverbio. - Come aggettivo e pronome, poco si traduce con little davanti o al posto di nomi non numerabili e con few davanti o al posto di nomi plurali: poco zucchero = little sugar; aggiunse poco a quanto aveva già detto = she added little to what she had already said; pochi libri = few books; ne ho letti pochi = I read few of them. Attenzione a non confondere few = pochi (cioè, un numero insufficiente) con a few = alcuni (cioè, un numero ridotto, ma non necessariamente insufficiente). - Come sostantivo, poco compare in espressioni quali il poco che... = the little... / what little..., un po' / un poco di... = a little (of), a bit (of), some, any: si vedano sotto gli esempi. - Come avverbio, poco si traduce con little o not much con i verbi ( lo vedo molto poco = I see him very little) o con forme al comparativo ( sono poco più grasso di lui = I'm little / not much fatter than him), e con not very davanti ad aggettivi e avverbi ( poco pulito = not very clean; poco chiaramente = not very clearly). - Questi e altri esempi nella voce mostrano come poco si rende spesso in inglese con la negazione di molto: pochi studenti = few students / not many students; ho poco da dire = I've got little to say / I don't have much to say; ho dor mito poco = I slept little / I didn't sleep very much, ecc
