English term or phrase: "fancy pants"
Prezados colegas,

estou trabalhando nas legendas de um filme que insinua que James Dean teria sido gay. A história se passa em 1951. Num determinado momento, Dean está conversando com um rapaz na praia. Depois de algum tempo de papo, diz:

- Oh, fancy pants. (Laughs) Give me your hand.

Sei que é uma gíria antiga e já vi num filme um sargento ou algo que o valha dizer para os recrutas num quartel: "Rise and shine, fancy pants!" Vocês traduziriam como "maricas"? Alguma sugestão? Obrigada!
