situační komika / umění Explanation: My interpretation of the Drawer-Dropping Art, in England 'Draws' is a slang word for Knickers (ladies panties) Gents Underpants or indeed it also covers Gents Trousers, the ladies panties is the most recognised term. Therefore Draw (drawer) Dropping Art is taking down the garment and exposing your lower body (usually the rear) to an audience, Is like slapstick comedy or like in the Carry On Films, very very soft humours pornography. I take it from the comments that were made, justification was being asked if soft porn could be in the same category as real art productions. I hope you understand what I have said. |

Umění stažených kalhot Explanation: nebo: Umění stažených spodků, podvlékaček drawers = spodky, podvlékačky Zvolil bych takhle doslovný překlad, protože mám dojem, že nadpis má znít trochu pejorativně, ve smyslu prvního odstavce: Akropolis owner Hurda is disgusted with the idea that experimental theaters think they should receive more public money than popular music clubs. "If a man gets on stage and pulls down his pants and three people clap, this is what taxpayer money should go to?" Hurda said. |

s holým zadkem Explanation: I think that this would cover the drawer-dropping act, literally, and at the same time allude to the underlying idea of the article where cultural institutions argue about money. Somebody will walk away a winner and somebody will be poor - "s holým zadkem". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs 21 mins (2005-02-04 21:34:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"Umění s holým zadkem\" |
