"I was going to say he's a piece of work, but that might not translate too well. Is that all right, if I call you a 'piece of work'?"—To Jean-Claude Juncker, Prime Minister of Luxembourg, Washington, D.C., June 20, 2005
It doesn't "translate too well." I certainly don't understand how one could call a Prime Minister a piece of work and not get slapped in the face. How rude.
