20 cool one's heels
дожидаться, ждать, томиться в ожидании; ≈ ждать у моря погодыAfter a fortnight of rehearsals, Michael was thrown out of the part for which he had been engaged, and for three or four weeks was left to kick his heels about till something else could be found for him. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Theatre’, ch. VI) — После двух педель репетиций у Майкла отобрали роль, на которую он был приглашен, и недели три или даже месяц он томился в безделье, ожидая, когда подвернется что-нибудь еще.
Still, if you want the boy to kick his heels for ten minutes, I don't mind. I'm not responsible... (R. Greenwood, ‘Mr. Bunting’, ch. VII) — Но, конечно, если вы хотите, чтобы мальчишка целых десять минут плевал в потолок, пожалуйста. Мне все равно...
Water! Bring it up at once! Damn it all, am I to stand here all day cooling my heels on your pleasure! Water, confound you! (A. J. Cronin, ‘Hatter's Castle’, book II, ch. 11) — Воды! Сейчас же неси наверх воду! черт побери, что мне, целый день тут торчать для твоего удовольствия! Воды, черт тебя возьми!
