fešta
they're having a knees up = oni bučno slave / prave feštu
"knees up" je proslava s igrankom, prvobitno u stilu uličnih proslava s kraja I i II Svetskog rata u Engleskoj, ništa uporedivo s današnjim diskotekama po stilu, iako "knees up" isto traje svega par sati.
Staromodna fešta u nekom "malom mistu" mi jedino pada na pamet kao nešto približno uporedivo,

Note from asker:
| Hvala (opet), i mislio sam da je takvo nešto, problem je što nisam pronašao odgovarajući prijevod. Fešta mi uopće ne zvuči loše, samo što još nisam siguran treba li možda nešto "jače" od fešte - za što ne mogu smisliti prijevod. |
