3apa3aНаверное, кому-то интересная, но не мне. Пусть американцы с ним разбираются.
Моё внимание зацепило слово gofer в твите Трампа.
Слово я знал, но подумал: "Неужели президент США опустился до того, чтобы назвать кого-то "сусликом"?
Как-то несолидно.
Решил посмотреть значение слова. Как часто бывает, просветил "городской словарь"
gopher
n. A low-ranking employee who is made to do the bidding of their superiors. So-called because they are often running around doing various small tasks. So called because of its sound-a-like to "go-for", as in to go for something, such as to go for coffee. They basically are the peasants of the corporate ladder and do whatever the fuck their bosses say.
То есть так говорят о "мальчике (девочке) на побегушках" в конторе, от слова "поди-ка принеси..."
Примеры: I have no job security. I'm just a gopher!
Everyone know that Mike is the gopher here, we even use him as a foot stool sometimes.
