Çok sağol ya! Explanation: Nell is not satisfied with the Tony's confirming him in a wise-guy manner. Though I'm not sure about, I think it's a sarcastic way of saying "Thanks" (actually it's the very opposite of "Thanks" in Turkish). "Çok sağol ya! Haklı olduğum şey neymiş (peki/bakalım)?" |

| Reference: crumbs from a rich man's table Reference information: You will hear people in the U.S. say: "Hey, throw me a bone here!" This is said when someone is feeling slighted or has gone unrecognized for some achievement. The derivation is from throwing a bone to a dog, as in "even a dog would get a bone" from someone. http://www.idiomcenter.com/dictionary/crumbs-from-a-rich-man... |
