English term or phrase: dump luck
Прошу помощи. Есть задачка с игрой слов. Художественный текст:
“Ha, I don’t know about that.” ХХХ reached for the sunglasses perched on his head. “More like dumb luck.”
“Ain’t nothing dumb about you, anchorman.” I winked at him, and he grinned and slid his glasses on.
Есть идеи, как обыграть dumb? Для инфо: один из ГГ работает ведущим на ТВ.

neutral  Sofia Gutkin: У вас "Ты далеко не дурак" в оригинале превратилось в "Ты вроде не из везучих", т.е. наоборот.

dumb luck и его возможные переводы


Explanation:
- More like dumb luck.
- Ain't nothing dumb about you, anchorman.

Я относительно уверен в таком переводе:
- Скорее глупая удача(тупое везение или слепая удача).
- Ничего глупого(тупого или слепого) в тебе, ведущий.

Возможных переводов много, может быть как и глупая, так и слепая удача, а также тупое везение. Слепая удача проще с языка скатывается, но это зависит от интонации данного куска текста.
