anything less than perfection... Explanation: Where perfection reigns supreme and there is no room for anything less than perfection. More context would be helpful, usually 'sgorbio' refers to something ugly, but does it refer to a person, an object or what? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-10-16 20:44:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As I suspected, sgorbi is a reference to the person being ugly. Maybe you could say: where perfection reigns supreme, there is no room for "ugly Bettys". Think about it Meg. |
