1 overpaid
ⓘ Overpaid, oversexed and over here Cette phrase (que l'on attribue à l'artiste de music-hall anglais Tommy Trinder) était utilisée pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale par certains Britanniques jaloux du succès que remportaient auprès des femmes les soldats américains basés en Grande-Bretagne. Cette formule, que l'on pourrait traduire par "surpayés, surexcités et sur place" est encore utilisée aujourd'hui à propos de certains étrangers qui séjournent en Grande-Bretagne, mais souvent avec des modifications. Ainsi on pourra dire à propos d'un boy's-band américain: overhyped, overeager and over here (""surfaits, trop enthousiastes et chez nous"). -
