to look like the cat that got the cream ##
Imagine the satisfied, contented look of a cat that
has just drunk a bowl of cream. It's smiling, and is
very, very happy.
If someone looks like the cat that got the cream
then they look very, very happy. Maybe they have
done well in a test. Maybe they have won a lot of
money on the lottery. We don't know the reason,
but we do know that they are very satisfied. The
look on their face tells us that.
lambendo os beiços
é a expressão equivalente em português, para descrever uma pessoa muuuuito satisfeita.
Felicidades, P
