Guy went on. “He and his friends in their company knew that this was going to be a very dangerous mission, so they had filled their canteens with navy rum and by the time they landed they had a fair bit of ‘liquid courage’. http://www.ohassta.org/pdf/dieppe.PDF |

peer agreement (net): +2pijacka odwaga/odwaga po pijanemu Explanation: Liquid courage is a slang phrase used to refer to any alcoholic beverage. It refers to the fact that many people are more courageous (or, to put it in less optimistic terms, "have less discretion") once they have become intoxicated with alcohol. The term is synonymous with Dutch courage but doesn't have the un-political correctness associated with that phrase. Dutch courage wg PWN-Oxford: pijacka odwaga, wg Kościuszki: odwaga po pijanemu. Ewentualnie czasownikowo: "napić się dla kurażu" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2005-02-21 16:21:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- też: coś na odwagę/ coś dla kurażu Reference: http://www.answers.com/topic/liquid-courage |
