| хорошо зарабатывать; хорошо заработать (Obsolete: The phrase "make one's jack" generally means to succeed, or to achieve one's goals. It's an older expression, possibly originating from British slang where "jack" referred to a small amount of money or a gaming counter. (...) This expression, in turn, may come from the British slang jack, for "a farthing and a counter used at gaming tables," which dates back to about 1700. (fofweb.infobase.com) ART Vancouver) | |||
