разг.проворонить; упустить возможность, прозевать удобный случайIn their swift invasion of Norway, the German ground troops were transported secretly to many points on that long and complicated coastline under the very eyes and guns of the British Home Fleet. This was the contemptuous answer to Neville Chamberlain's stupendously unfortunate remark about Hitler having "missed the bus". (R. E. Sherwood, ‘Roosevelt and Hopkins’, ch. VI) — В ходе своего быстрого вторжения в Норвегию немецкие сухопутные войска были переброшены тайно во многие пункты, расположенные вдоль длинной и сильно изрезанной береговой линии, под самым носом и под дулами орудий английского флота. Это явилось презрительным ответом на поразительно неудачное замечание Невилла Чемберлена по поводу того, что Гитлер "прозевал свой автобус".
