1 flea in the ear
«Блоха в ухе». To send someone off with a flea in his/her ear значит оборвать кого-либо достаточно грубо. Имеется в виду собака, которая мучается от блохи, попавшей в ухо, и, страдая от этого, бегает повсюду без отдыха. Это выражение известно в английском языке с XV в., а ещё раньше во французской версии.He called on me last night and asked for a loan of £5,000. I sent him away with a flea in his ear. — Он появился у меня вчера вечером и попросил взаймы 5000 фунтов. Я не стал его слушать и отослал восвояси.
