Art/Literary - Idioms / Maxims / Sayings | | English term or phrase: to be down to nine | Narrator próbuje pogłaskać przyjazne, ale potencjalnie niebezpieczne ptaszysko:
"It was disconcerting venturing a digit through the wire to stroke a bird with bloodied evidence dangling from her beak; should she misinterpret the stimulus, I could be down to nine."
