The best thing about this movie was Harrison Ford (real name: Han Solo), who is very cool and a friend to all the ladies. He is infinitely cooler than, say, Kenneth Branagh (real name: Pansy Boy), who could NEVER play the president because he\'s too much of a pansy boy.

Ewa Dabrowska
: pansy to raczej jak quire- obydwa sa okresleniami na 'gay'; OK mialam na mysli 'gueer'. Mysle ze cieple kluchy to osoba zasiedziana, taka co nie lubi nic robic a 'pansy' to jakby 'slicznotek'

a czemu akurat "quire"?? // ok, "quire" = "choir" (chór) or "ream" - libra, składka // I just disagree with this disagree :P//well, we don't know the context, do we?

Ensor
: "cieple kluchy" to czlowiek bezwolny, nieenergiczny, slamazarny; 'sissy / pansy' to raczej ciota / baba / maminsynek, innymi slowy 'facet zachowujacy sie jak dziewucha' - jakby troche inny wymiar;

a dla mnie "ciepłe kluchy" to również baba ciota i maminsynek :P to samo zresztą można powiedzieć o "wishy-washy" o "milksop" ale jakoś tylko mi się obrywa.... never mind

'Cieple kluchy' to czlowiek slamazarny, bezwolny, pozbawiony energii;
'Klutz': A clumsy, awkward person, esp. one considered socially inept;
'Slouch': an awkward, lazy or inept person;
Kosciuszko na 'cieple kluchy' proponuje 'sluggard';
Sam bym pewnie wybral 'klutz', bo lubie to brzmienie;
