Cinema, Film, TV, Drama / Film: Nancy Drew...reporter (1939)
English term or phrase: whoosis
O editor do jornal fala: My dear Miss Whoosis
Eu sei que usa-se esta palavra para dizer que não lembramos o nome da pessoa. Mas haveria alguma tradução específica em português?
Por exemplo: Minha cara Srta. sei lá seu nome? Ou haveria uma palavra em português que pudesse expressar esse sentido?
Obrigado!
