  • 4 пикнуть не смеет

    <и> пикнуть не смеет ( кто)
    разг.

    Федя боялся её, боялся её светлых и зорких глаз, её резкого голоса; он не смел пикнуть при ней; бывало, он только что зашевелился на своём стуле, уже она и шипит: "куда? сиди смирно". (И. Тургенев, Дворянское гнездо) — Fedya was frightened of her, feared her bright, penetrating eyes, her harsh voice, and never dared to make a sound in her presence; sometimes he would just stir a little on his chair, and she would at once hiss out, 'Where are you going? Sit still!'
