from under
Hi
here in Italy most politicians have been in the parliament for over 30 years. We say of them that they are "glued to their chairs". Recently I commented somewhere: "Someone should remove the chair FROM UNDER their butt." Is there something wrong with this sentence? I thought also of "SLIP the chair..." Is this acceptable? Thank you.
