English to Persian (Farsi) Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Essays on Everyday Life

Greetings,

This web page is all about officious people:
http://www.themindgym.com/2012/02/computer-says-no/
“Aggressively officious airport security, nightclub doormen and parking inspectors are some obvious examples that might spring to mind. And the concept has been in the public consciousness since the 1940s – the wartime British slang ‘little Hitler’ described a menial functionary who used their power to frustrate others.”

I should explain that ‘security’ refers to officials responsible for security here – ‘officious’ is an adjective used of people, not things.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon
