engelska-tjeckiska översättning av proverbial

příslovečnýObávám se však, že jsme vytvořili onen příslovečný vánoční strom plný přání, přestože je po Vánocích, a to přání, která zastírají hlavní politický problém. However, I fear that we have produced the proverbial Christmas tree - albeit it post-Christmas - of wishes, and of wishes that obscure the main political point.

Of, resembling, or expressed as a proverb, cliché, fable, or fairy tale
Not used in a literal sense, but as the subject of a well-known metaphor
Widely known; famous; stereotypical
Used to replace a word that might be considered unacceptable in a particular situation, when using a well-known phrase
The groin or the testicles

the proverbial smoking gun
proverbial spilled milk
I grew up in a prefab house on Main Street in 1950s suburbia, the second and last child of a proverbial nuclear family.
I think we should be prepared in case the proverbial hits the fan.
Are you taking the proverbial?
