English term or phrase:I'm all right, Jack
De la misma historia corta: "Why was I working there? Dirty Derrickson's newspaper was certainly the last place where you'd expect to find an 'irresponsible leftie' like me. Each and every one of my workmates was the typical rabid right-winger who didn't give a flying one about the less-privileged. The editors' motto could very well have been 'I'm all right, Jack'."
No tengo ni idea de a qué se refiere. Gracias desde ya.
