puppet Explanation: I ordbogen.com staar der noget i retning af "a left wing henchman" og idiomordbogen.dk staar der noget om det var at gore med "political tv censorship and influence" og google siger at rød lejesvend kan bruges om gamle maend og nogen du kan ikke lide o.s.v. Literally it means a "red leased trip" I think. http://www.idiomordbogen.dk/idiom.php?site=7&page=0&searchop... I think "puppet" is one derogatory term that could be used to describe that person. |
