5 в пику

( кому) (сказать, сделать что-либо и т. п.)

разг.

say (do) smth. < just> to spide smb.; with a thrust at smb.

В заключение адвокат в пику товарища прокурора заметил, что блестящие рассуждения господина товарища прокурора о наследственности, хотя и разъясняют научные вопросы наследственности, неуместны в этом случае, так как Бочкова - дочь неизвестных родителей. (Л. Толстой, Воскресение) — In conclusion the advocate remarked, with a thrust at the public prosecutor, that 'the brilliant observation of that gentleman on heredity, while explaining scientific facts concerning heredity, were inapplicable in this case, as Bochkova was of unknown parentage.'

Она была догматически религиозна, по-моему, не столько из собственной веры в бога, сколько в пику и назло родственникам и окружающим. (К. Симонов, Глазами человека моего поколения) — She was dogmatically religious - not, I think, so much because of her own faith in God as from pique and to spite her relatives and others around her.
