8 He/she/they would, wouldn't he/she/they?
Хорошо известное выражение приобрело иной подтекст в 1963 г. во время суда над Стефаном Уордом, которого обвинили в сутенёрстве. Одна свидетельница представила суду список имён мужчин, с которыми у неё были определённые связи. В этом списке значилось и имя лорда Астора. На вопрос суда: 'Do you know that Lord Astor has made a statement to the police saying that your allegations are absolutely untrue?' (Вам известно, что лорд Астор заявил в полиции, что Ваши обвинения — абсолютная ложь?), она ответила: 'He would, wouldn't he?' (С него станется, как же!). Публика была в диком восторге - крайне редко можно было услышать в суде живую разговорную речь, а предположение, что такой человек, как лорд, будет лгать, было и вовсе неслыханным. С тех пор эта фраза используется, чтобы выразить скептическое, недоверчивое отношение к чему-либо.'The manufacturers say that they are increasing prices solely to keep up with inflation, not to increase their profits.' 'Well, they would, wouldn't they?' — «Производители утверждают, что они поднимают цены, только чтобы поспевать за ростом инфляции, а не для того, чтобы увеличивать свои прибыли». «Да неужели!»

≈ пожинать плоды чужого труда [этим. библ. Matthew XXV, 24; см. тж. reap as one has sown]We admire aesthetically the marvellous masonry and architecture of the Great Pyramid... fruits of the hard labour unjustly imposed on the many to produce the fine flowers of civilization for the exclusive enjoyment of a few who reap where they have not sown. (A. J. Toynbee, ‘Civilization on Trial’, ‘The Present Point in History’, Kenk) — Мы получаем эстетическое удовольствие от архитектурных достоинств великой пирамиды... которая была создана принудительным трудом согнанных на строительство тысяч людей. Именно этот каторжный труд создал блестящие образцы искусства, которыми наслаждалось привилегированное меньшинство, любящее пожинать плоды чужого труда.
