14 blue rinse set
= blue rinse brigadeA rinse — это средство для подкрашивания волос. Set или brigade — это группа, компания, кружок. Пожилые английские леди среднего класса, а также аристократки часто слегка подкрашивают свои волосы в голубоватый цвет, чтобы оттенить седину. Поскольку многие из этих дам разделяют консервативные взгляды, выражение blue rinse brigade стало употребляться как определение сторонников тори.Harsh penal measures always go down well with the blue rinse brigade. — Жёсткие меры наказания всегда одобряются «леди с голубыми волосами».
