Polish term or phrase: sadełko
Artykuł dotyczy ogólnie dyskursu i jako przykład użycia potocznych wyrażeń pojawia się coś takiego:

"Osoba udzielająca wywiadu: Ja też patrzyłam, czy banki słusznie rezerwy celowe składają, czy nie, tak wysokie, no to może być to za duże sadełko, tak jak dla każdej innej firmy."

excessive padding


Explanation:
