rhetoric Explanation: ...navel gazing is 'navelskådning' in Swedish, and fairly common. However, when it comes to the intended tone and effect of the sentence, perhaps 'navel gazing' would not be so wrong. |

flowery talk Explanation: But I fail to see the logic - the "privileged elite" would of course easily see through the flowery talk (or "bullshit", to use a more comm expression). Also, I don't see the connection to "navel gazing"? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days7 hrs (2007-07-31 07:41:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "comm" shoukld be "common" |
