English term or phrase: me-too-istic
Is this event one that the competition has previously sponsored, and therefore is there a risk of being perceived as “me-too-istic” and confusing the target audience as to the sponsor’s identity?

disagree  Susanne Rindlisbacher: But then, the writer of this text could easily have used the much more common "plagiaristic". Why not try for a more literal translation?

  -> This was a post-grade "disagree". How would you translate "me-too-istic" literally? Eu-também-ista? // muito boa, a reação da Teresa, e muito pertinente o seu comentário quanto a dar mais tempo antes de decidir.
agree  Humberto Ribas
