| обобрать до нитки | skin to the bone (of something: Easeby wasn't one of those country houses you read about in the society novels, where young girls are lured on to play baccarat and then skinned to the bone of their jewellery, and so on. The house-party I had left had consisted entirely of law-abiding birds like myself. (P.G. Wodehouse) ART Vancouver) |
