1 toffee nosed
Это выражение связано не с «тофи», сортом конфет типа ирисок, а со словом toff — барин или джентльмен, который смотрит свысока на других.She's been pretty toffee nosed recently. It's probably because she thinks she's a lady and I'm just a waitress. — С недавних пор она стала задирать нос. Наверно, думает, что она леди, а я просто официантка.
