Who's we X Who are we: Qual o correto?

Simon Vasconcelos 11 219
Who's we? Legions of bereft fans.

Eu vi essa frase num jornal e achei estranho, porque pensava que no lugar de "who's we" fosse "who are we". Trata-se de lincença poética?

One way to think about this is to see what a more complete question might look like:

Who is this "we" referring to?
Who is the "we" that we are talking about?

It's a commonplace short form that imitates the spoken language.

Complemento:

Who's we?

A sarcastic expression used when a person uses the word "we" when they should have actually Used the word "I."


Or when a person says that "we don't" do something that at least one person is actually doing. This expression is used to totally catch the offender off guard, rendering them incapable of coming up with a response to the awkward comment.

Em português, a explicação do donay seria algo como "Nós quem, cara pálida?"

Obrigado pelas explicações, mas eu poderia substiuir "who's we" por "who are we"?

Simon,

Na minha opinião, NÃO neste contexto:
Who's we?

A sarcastic expression used when a person uses the word "we" when they should have actually Used the word "I."
