(http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/137650.html) Din contextul: "Guys, we must cut bait or get off the pot." înţeleg că personajul nu îşi dă seama că repetă de fapt aceeaşi idee cu ajutorul a două expresii diferite. Mă gândesc că se poate surprinde ideea cam aşa: *ori o lăsăm baltă, ori depunem armele* |
