un incompétent Explanation: "bludger" peut effectivement vouloir dire "tire-au-flanc", mais il me semble que le ses ici correspond plus à "a person in authority regarded as ineffectual by those working under him " du dictionnaire. "bludger (ˈblʌdʒə) [Click for IPA pronunciation guide] — n 1. a person who scrounges 2. a person who avoids work 3. a person in authority regarded as ineffectual by those working under him " http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bludger?sbbc=ts |
