- The riff-raff here are people who see themselves as opera buffs, but who the anti-translation opera buffs would say they aren’t proper buffs because they don’t like opera enough to sit through it when the words are gobbledygook – or aren't proper buffs because they haven’t bothered to learn Italian and German. — (David Mitchell, Dishonesty is the Second-Best Policy: And Other Rules to Live By, Guardian Faber Publishing, 2019, p. 48)
