 |
|
I just watched the famous sitcom Friends, 3rd of Season 4, The One With The �Cuffs. in which Chandler gets locked by Rachel's boss in her office, and some lines of which are very confusing to me. Here are these lines:
| Quote: |
[Cut to Joanna�s outer office, where Rachel and Sophie work. They are both coming back from lunch.]
Joanna: (locking her door) Oh.
Sophie: Hi! I brought you back a macaroon!
Joanna: Oh great! I�ll keep it in my butt with your nose. (She grabs the cookie and walks out.) |
so, what dose Joanna mean by I�ll keep it in my butt with your nose.?
Thanks in advance |

When somebody is trying to curry favour with their boss (or anybody, really) they are said, contemptuously, to be "brown nosing". i.e. they have their nose up their boss's a s s.
This is a very common expression, but it is not quite polite.
So, Joanna is saying, in a humorous way, that she is knows Sophie is trying to curry favour with her. |
