7 лезть на рожон
лезть (идти, переть) на рожонпрост.1) ( предпринимать что-либо заранее обречённое на неудачу) cf. batter (bash, beat) one's head against a stone wall; kick against the pricksДаже Голицын, член-корр., патриарх и прочая, прочая, не лезет на рожон. Он тоже говорил Дану, что спор ненаучный и тратить силы на эту галиматью просто неприлично. (Д. Гранин, Иду на грозу) — Even Golitsyn, a Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences, patriarch etc., etc., doesn't batter his head against a stone wall. He told Dan as well that the argument was not scientific and it would be simply embarrassing to waste time on such nonsense.
2) (действовать сгоряча, не считаясь с риском или последствиями для себя) ask for trouble (for it); take risks; stick one's neck out; spoil for a fight; rush in where angels fear to tread"Береги себя, - сказал бы он Травкину, - дело делом, а не при на рожон. Будь осторожен, скоро войне конец". (Эм. Казакевич, Звезда) — 'Take care of yourself,' he would have liked to tell him. 'A job's a job, but don't take too many risks. Be careful, the war will soon be over.'
Положение было безвыходным. Памятуя наказ Одинцова "не идите на рожон", Андрей скрепя сердце согласился кое-что изменить в своих выводах. (Д. Гранин, Искатели) — There was no escape. Remembering Odintsov's advice, 'Don't ask for trouble', Andrei agreed reluctantly to revise some of his arguments.
- Большой человек? - шепнул Фёдоров, задерживая Булатова. - Этот? О-о! Фигура! Отчаянный человек. Так и прёт на рожон, да мы его в уезде придерживаем, понадобится ещё. (Н. Вирта, Одиночество) — Fyodorov detained Bulatov on the way and whispered: 'Man of calibre?' 'Him? Oh, he's a figure! Desperate character. Simply spoiling for a fight. We are keeping him back in the district until he's needed.'
- Как патруль пройдёт - через траншею и двигай дальше... - Будешь ждать в Фёдоровке... На рожон не лезь! Главное, будь осторожен! (В. Богомолов, Иван) — 'As soon as the patrol passes, slip across the trench and keep moving... You'll wait in Fedorovka. Don't stick your neck out. Be careful whatever you do!'
