1 not to have a rag to one's back
впасть в крайнюю нищету, обнищать, ходить в лохмотьях; ≈ гол как соколNever seems to have a rag to his back and always cadging tucker. (K. S. Prichard, ‘The Roaring Nineties’, ch. 17) — На нем никогда даже рубашки целой нет, и вечно клянчит, чтобы ему дали поесть.
‘Everything I do you criticise.’ ‘I don't. All I've said - apart from tonight - is that I don't like you taking money from my father and going off buying clothes as though you hadn't a rag to your back. You've got enough clothes for a film-star.’ (D. Cusack, ‘Heatwave in Berlin’, ch. VII) — - Что бы я ни делала, все не по тебе. - Это не так! Мне не нравится только, что ты берешь деньги у моего отца, носишься по магазинам, покупая тряпки, как будто тебе нечего надеть. А платьев у тебя не меньше, чем у какой-нибудь кинозвезды. Только это я и сказал тебе сегодня.
