malta de sabichões Explanation: MOB aqui não deve ser "multidão", mas sim um grupo, ou pequeno grupo, para português de Portugal = malta; para o Brasil = turma, grupo POINTY HAT deve ser jargão coloquial americano (não é da Inglaterra) = intelectual (pejorativo), "sabichão", não há muitos termos pejorativos para "intelectuais" em português BIG BLUE = deve ser polícia, ou chefe de polícia. Se o assunto fôr literatura AMERICANA (ou Australiana) a coisa toda ficaria assim: "como se fosse se a malta de sabichões tivesse a intenção de mandar o Chefe de Polícia para o castigo". (para português brasileiro não use "malta", use "turma", ou "grupo". N�o � "slang" ingl�s da Inglaterra |

ku klux klan Explanation: as far as I know, 'pointy hat mob' refers to the Ku Klux Klan. 'Slammer' means 'prison' or 'jail/gaol'. 'Big Blue' is presumably the nickname of a character in the story HTH Julia |
