6 старая перечница
груб.-прост.old grumbler; old stickler; old hagНизшие приютские чины прячут одеяла и простыни под замок, чтобы старухи не пачкали - пусть спят, чёртовы перечницы, на полу. (А. Чехов, Княгиня) — The asylum linen-mistresses keep sheets and blankets under lock and key lest the old women should soil them: 'Let the old hags sleep on the floor.'
"Старая перечница! - зло подумал он о старике профессоре, который загнал его в барокамеру и выкачивал воздух до уровня, соответствующего пяти тысячам метров. - Ему приятно играть на нервах, этому эскулапу..." (Ю. Семёнов,...При исполнении служебных обязанностей) — 'The old stickler!' he muttered angrily to himself, thinking of the elderly professor who had put him in a pressure chamber and pumped air out till it felt like flying at sixteen thousand feet without an oxygen mask. 'Must enjoy giving people the jitters.'
