phoney

- phony

- adjective
- falso

EN I mean if a boy's mother was sort of fat or corny-looking or something, and if somebody's father was one of those guys that wear those suits with very big shoulders and corny black-and-white shoes, then old Haas would just shake hands with them and give them a phoney smile and then he'd go talk, for maybe a half an hour, with somebody else's parents.
GL Quero dicir que se a nai dun rapaz era un pouco gorda ou ridícula e se o pai dalgún era un deses tíos que levan traxe con ombreiras grandes ou zapatos brancos e pretos, entón o vello Haas dáballe a man a correr, botáballes un sorriso falso e marchaba a falar polo menos media hora cos pais de algún outro.
