peer agreement (net): +1Mutton Dressed as Lamb Explanation: W Twoim kontekście ubioru niestosownego do wieku This idiom means that somebody is dressing like a much younger person. For example: The style doesn’t suit her, she looks like a mutton dressed as lamb. A mutton refers to an adult sheep, whereas a lamb refers to baby sheep. This expression dates back to a social gossip journal from 1811. The journal states that George IV, the Prince of Wales at the time, when discussing his preference for older women exclaimed: «Girls are not to my taste. I don’t like lamb; but mutton dressed like lamb!» https://teachifyapp.com/en/impress-your-english-friends-with... |
