French term or phrase: gueule pendante
En un programa televisivo, una comediante famosa está con su hijo y explica por qué no quiere dejar de trabajar:

Lui, il va se barrer. Dans quelques années, il sera plus là et je resterai la **gueule pendante**.

Conozco la expresión, pero traducir por "quedaré con la lengua afuera" me parece horrible. ¿Se les ocurre algo mejor?
Gracias por au ayuda.
