English term or phrase: Panhandle
"To really see the way these animals interact you really need to go underwater, it's really where it's all happening, certainly up here in the panhandle".

Rzecz dzieje się w Delcie Okawango i dotyczy krokodyli.

Explanation:
A panhandle is an informal geographic term for an elongated tail-like protrusion of a geo-political entity, such as a subnational entity or a sovereign state. The term derives from the analogous part of a cooking pan and its use is generally confined to the United States. A panhandle is similar to a peninsula in shape, but unlike a peninsula it is not surrounded by water on three sides and connected to a geographical mainland. Instead, a panhandle is delimited by a land border on at least two sides and extends out from the larger geographical body of the administrative unit. The panhandle shape is the result of arbitrarily drawn international or subnational boundaries, although the location of some administrative borders takes into account other considerations such as economic ties or topography. In the United States, a protrusion with a less elongated shape is informally called a bootheel.

Panhandles outside the United States

Outside of the United States, the term is not in common usage, with the arguable exception of the nearby New Brunswick Panhandle. Nonetheless, some people would describe the following characteristic territorial protrusions elsewhere as a corridor or an arm extending into an administratively different territory:
* Dalmatia, Croatia
* Istria, Croatia
* Enontekiö, Finland
* Western Thrace, Greece
* Petén, Guatemala
* Seven Sister States, India
* Batken, Kyrgyzstan
* Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico
* Tenasserim, Myanmar
* Triest, Italy
* Antakya, Turkey
* Caprivi Strip, Namibia
* Limburg, the Netherlands
* Congo Pedicle, Democratic Republic of the Congo
* Polish Corridor, Poland
* North Hamgyŏng, South Hamgyŏng, and Ryanggang, together comprise the "panhandle" of North Korea.
* Southern Thailand, Thailand

panhandle


Explanation:
Zgodnie ze słownikiem, jest to wąski pas ziemi (lądu) wcinający się w inne państwo, terytorium albo połączony z większym obszarem. Ale - odpowiadam, bo termin ten utkwił mi w głowie po lekturze "Asa w rękawie" A. Proux, gdzie tłumacz w polskim przekładzie pozostawił to w oryginale (vide http://www.pinkwart.pl/recenzje/lektury/as.htm), w tekstach na temat Okawango też raczej zostaje to w oryginale ("Co najmniej cztery takie statki błądzą po wodach rzeki Okawango zwanej tutaj Panhandle (rączka patelni), trochę powyżej wachlarza delty." za: http://www.africangamesafari.com/czarny-lad.html)

neutral  Andrzej Mierzejewski: W cytacie masz tłumaczenie tego wyrazu na polski, więc dlaczego pozostawiasz bez tłumaczenia? Tylko niewielu czytelników czy widzów zrozumie, o co chodzi.
1 hr
  -> Bo akurat sama "rączka patelni" mówi dość mało IMHO - dlatego zastosowałbym taki zabieg, jak w przywołanej książce, kiedy termin pojawiał się 1szy raz, było wyjaśnienie, a później nadal takie tereny były nazywane "panhandle".

panhandle
tak zwana rączka patelni


Explanation:
Propozycja w tym kontekście:
http://www.expertafrica.com/botswana/okavango-panhandle

maps.google - szukaj: Okavango, Botswana
Delta Okavango to obszar wodny w północnej Botswanie. Na mapie widać nazwę Okavango Panhandle. "Rączka patelni" wychodzi z delty w kierunku N-W i dochodzi do granicy Namibii.

Można opuścić "tak zwaną", bo Panhandle to nazwa geograficzna naniesiona na mapach. Nazwa jest obrazowa i objaśnia kształt, można tłumaczyć dosłownie.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Dzięki, bardzo mi się ta propozycja podoba i śpieszę ją zastosować. Jest prosta, elegancka i pasuje do kontekstu ("rączka patelni" w potoczystej i udramatyzowanej narracji brzmi dość dziwnie). Tak, tłumaczę dokument o nurkowaniu z krokodylami, w maju do obejrzenia.

Skoro wiadomo gdzie akcja się dzieje, to po co wydziwiać - czasami tłumaczenie wszystkiego słowo w słowo nie jest konieczne.
