It seems to me the meaning is something like:
"with the perfect amount of imperfections"
?
But I guess we should wait for an Administrator's judgement call about this?
Anyway, thanks, gamine lion!

CC: Francky5591 | | | 22 August 2008 05:34 | | | You're absolutely right, of course. I just thought that maybe Lithuanian might be far more distant from English than French is, and therefore might require a periphrastic translation (unlike in French, where the translation can be often be word-for-word, as you show above).
And maybe we can give more points to the Lithuanian speakers too, who might not have much "work" here on ! | | | 22 August 2008 14:29 | | | Hi Ian Megil. I do like your humour. Funny how one can "discover" people through words. |
