1 to fork out
Раскошелиться. A fork — это вилка или вилы. Однако в этом контексте слово fork ничего общего не имеет ни со столовым прибором, ни с садовым инструментом. Здесь это жаргонное слово означает «палец». Имеется в виду, что кто-либо должен засунуть руку в карман (обычно нехотя), чтобы достать деньги и расплатиться.You don't want a husband! You just want somebody who is willing to fork out every time you buy something! — Тебе не нужен муж! Тебе нужен только кто-нибудь, готовый раскошеливаться каждый раз, когда ты что-то покупаешь!
