As long as we've covered all the possibilities. And, Palavra might be on the ball (no pun intented) with "fiscal dribbling." It's just that ... "pedalling fiscal obligations into the future" from nickel's #16 sounded to me very much like "kicking the fiscal can down the road" which is an...

kicking the fiscal can down the road As just another possibility here for "fiscal pedalling" (I'm not insisting, of course). We should examine all the possibilities, anyway. kicking something down the road = removing something (an immediate problem) that should be dealt with now, so as to deal...

Now I'm thinking "pedalling" = "kicking the (fiscal) can down the road." I think I'll call it a night.

(I meant the person who's laughing might have a hidden motive, ill intent .... they might be mocking you, etc.., i.e., there is or there might be more to that laughter than is immediately apparent)

Δεν θέλω να το υπεραναλύσω .... αλλά το "consequential laughter" = το γέλιο που έχει "επακόλουθες συνέπειες", δεν με κάθεται καθόλου καλά. το "non-consequential" εδώ = trivial, something that is lightweight, something that is superficial and therefore can be taken at face value - you don't...

ρυτίδες; ;-) strange phrase consequential laughter ... η φράση κανονικά θα έπρεπε να σημαίνει ότι το ιδιο το γέλιο επακολουθεί ως συνέπεια. (a phrase like "inappropriate laughter" "appropriate laughter" or similar you could make immediate sense of or let's say "laughter with...
