To take The Cake: có nghĩa là chiếm giải nhất, dù cho đó là điều đẹp đẽ, lạ lùng hay khó chịu. Thành ngữ này xuất xứ từ những cuộc thi nhảy múa của người Mỹ gốc Phi châu trong thế kỷ thứ 19, trong đó người nào nhảy giỏi nhất sẽ được thưởng bánh ngọt.
Ví dụ:
The final runner takes the cake for being the slowest.
Người chạy cuối cùng chiếm giải nhất cho người chạy chậm nhất.
To Be A Bad Egg: có nghĩa là một người xấu.
Ví dụ:
That boy has been in and out of jail all his life. He's a real bad egg.
Cậu trai đó đã ra vào tù suốt cả cuộc đời anh ta. Anh ta đúng thật là một gã xấu xa.
