81 old as the hills
очень старый, древний; ≈ старо как мир [этим. предположительно библ. Job XV, 7: art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?]‘There's very little to be had out of that,’ he said; ‘Regular country little place, old as the hills.’ (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Man of Property’, part I, ch. I) — - Ничего особенного там нет, - сказал Джемс, - настоящий деревенский уголок, от которого так и веет стариной.
That little affair of your father-in-law and your Aunt Irene, Val - it's old as the hills, of course, Fleur need know nothing about it... (J. Galsworthy, ‘To Let’, part I, ch. V) — Эта история с твоим тестем и твоей тетей Ирэн, Вэл... Все это, конечно, давно поросло быльем, не нужно, чтобы Флер что-нибудь узнала...
...she saw that he was practically toothless. As old as the hills. While Rhett was stealing a horse, why couldn't he have stolen a good one? (M. Mitchell, ‘Gone with the Wind’, ch. XXIV) —...Скарлетт увидела, что у лошади почти не было зубов и она от старости еле передвигала ноги. Уж если Рэтт решил украсть лошадь, то почему он украл эту старую клячу?
The reader will notice that many of my stories are written in the first person singular. That is a literary convention which is as old as the hills. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘Preface’) — читатель, вероятно, заметил, что многие из моих рассказов написаны от первого лица. Это литературный прием, старый как мир.
Fifty-five must seem as old as the hills to a girl like you. (A. Wilson, ‘Anglo-Saxon Attitudes’, part I, ch. I) — Такой молоденькой девушке, как вы, мужчина пятидесяти пяти лет кажется древним стариком.
