41 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): -1
2 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +6 paper-pushing
Explanation:
Amerikában így használják. Bár mások is adtak már hasonló választ, a javaslataikban az ige került előre, de szerintem az "aktatologatás" összetételt ezzel a főnévvel lehet legjobban visszaadni. Ezt a változatot gyakran hallottam amerikaiaktól, és az alábbi források is ezt támasztják alá (ld. References in periodicals):
Noun1. paper-pusher - a clerk or bureaucrat who does paperwork
administrative official, bureaucrat - an official of a bureaucracy
clerk - an employee who performs clerical work (e.g., keeps records or accounts)
