Bloody Mary
most well-known American performing pianists. Also, another name for a children’s game “blind-man’s-buff”.
Bloody Mary – кровавая Мэри; одноименный коктейль из водки и томатного сока It may refer either to the Queen of England and Ireland in the Tudor era, Daughter of Henry VIII, or to Bloody Mary, a ghost said to appear in mirrors when summoned. The most common way to make her appear is to stand before a mirror in the dark and repeat her name three times. In some versions of the legend, the summoner must say, “Bloody Mary, I killed your baby.” In these variants, Bloody Mary is often believed to be the spirit of a young mother whose baby was stolen from her, making her mad with grief, eventually committing suicide. In stories where Mary is supposed to have been wrongly accused of killing her children, the querent might say “I believe in Mary Worth.” A Bloody Mary is a popular cocktail containing vodka, tomato juice, and usually other spices or flavorings such as Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, beef consomme or bouillon, horseradish, celery, olive, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and celery salt. It has been called “the world’s most complex cocktail.” Bobbsey twins – близнецы Бобси, ироничное прозвище неразлучных друзей; (ср.: Бобчинский и Добчинский, персонажи комедии Н. В. Гоголя «Ревизор») A facetious name for two people who are often seen together and look or act alike. From the central characters in a series of children’s books by Laura Lee Hope, pen name of a literary syndicate. The first of 72 books was published in 1904, the last in 1979, with a separate series of 30 books published from 1987 through 1992. The books related the adventures of the children of the middle-class Bobbsey family, which included two sets of fraternal twins: Bert and Nan, who were 12 years old, and Flossie and Freddie, who were six: We called them the Bobbsey twins, because they always had the same opinions.
