Hi,
I have run across a strange phrase I would like a good soul to help me with.
The situation is a party with several people. Ramon rubbedWilfred up the wrong way by saying a certain unpleasant and unattractive womanwould make him a great wife. This ironic comment makes Wilfred furious and hethrows a heavy decanter at Ramon. Fortunately the missile strucks only aglancing blow and though Ramon´s brow is slashed open nothing serious hashappened.
Wilfred, ashamed of himself, goes away with his head bent,and Ramon says to his friends who witnessed the awkward scene:
“Ah, nothing serious. I will have a bulge on my brow,nothing more serious, and even that may correct the unhappy slant“.
What the hell is the unhappoy slant?
Thanks for help
