English term

get the A back

English to German Other Slang TV, film, crew, cast
"And here, at the end, you're getting all the A back. M. S. is back, A. M. is back..." (cast that has been in the episode from the beginning.)

Could it be a reference to very good actors? I thought it could stand for "action", but not sure anymore.

Any suggestions welcome!

Kind regards,

Nadine

A(-list) Along the same lines as Nicole: The show-business modifier "A-list" stands for the most celebrated or sought-after individuals; that is those on the (real or imaginary) "A-list".

Thank you for your comments. :-)
Nicole Schnell Jul 14, 2010:
Hi Nadine "A" steht für Bestnote und entspricht dem "Einser". Der Ausdruck, nämlich im Sinne von Spitzenleistung, hat sich insbesondere in der Sportwelt durchgesetzt... Du hast es hier mit einem trickreichen Wortspiel zu tun, aber A steht ganz gewiss nicht für action. :-)
Gudrun Wolfrath Jul 14, 2010:
A might also stand for the best grade. This is just an educated guess!
Nadine Kahn (asker) Jul 14, 2010:
Sorry, it should read, "all of the A back". I think I answered my own question. A stands for actors, right? Silly me.
