Guinness Great Scot(t)! – выражение удивления, недоумения, тревоги, испуга (то же, что Great Caesar’s!) An exclamation of surprise, amazement, or dismay. The origin of the expression is uncertain, with several plausible sources. A likely source is as a reference to American Civil War commander-in-chief of the US Army, General Winfield Scott. The general, known to his troops as Old Fuss and Feathers, weighed 300 pounds (21 stone or 136 kg) in his later years and was too fat to ride a horse. In an 1871 issue of the “Galaxy”, the expression itself is quoted: Great Scott! he gasped in his stupefaction, using the name of the then commander-in-chief for an oath, as officers sometimes did in those days. In England the expression is sometimes humorously extended to Great Scotland Yard! Greenwell’s glory – предмет гордости Гринуэлла; наживка для рыбалки The most beloved of trout flies. First dressed in 1854 on the River Tweed by Canon William Greenwell of Durham, the Greenwell’s Glory has since become one of the most well known and widely used of all British trout flies. Grow like Topsy – расти как Топси; очень быстро расти; расти как на дрожжах; взяться ниоткуда/неизвестно откуда Grow very fast. A small black girl character in the novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” (1851–52) by Harriet Beecher Stowe. When somebody asks her whether she knows who made her (that is, whether she has heard of God), she replies “I expect I grow’d” (= grew). People say something “just grew, like Topsy” when they are talking about something whose real origin is not known or about something that has gradually become very large: The government must decide how to allocate health-care resources in the face of demand that is growing like Topsy.
