ⓘ To do a Full Monty Cette phrase est une allusion au film britannique The Full Monty, qui fut un très gros succès en 1997, et qui est l'histoire d'un groupe de chômeurs de Sheffield qui décident de devenir strip-teaseurs. L'expression the full Monty existait déjà avant le film dans le sens "absolument tout", mais le film a donné naissance à cette nouvelle formule ( to do a Full Monty) qui signifie "faire un strip-tease intégral". On pourra dire par exemple: every Saturday night drunken youths spill out of pubs and do a full Monty in the middle of the High Street ("le samedi soir des jeunes sortent du pub complètement saouls et se mettent à poil au milieu de la rue principale").
