4 independent as a hog on ice
амер.; разг.; пренебр.≈ нахал, самоуверенный, развязный человекCuriosity about the origin of an expression that my mother frequently used started the investigation which has led to the contents of this book. Whenever she saw a pompous person strutting down the street... a young man with hat atilt jauntily striding along without a care in the world... such a person, she always said with a toss of her own head, was "as independent as a hog on ice". (Ch. E. Funk, ‘A Hog on Ice and Other Curious Expressions’) — Желание узнать происхождение фразы, которую часто употребляла моя мать, положило начало исследованию, в результате которого появилась эта книга. Когда мать встречала надутого человека, с важным видом шествующего по улице... молодого человека с лихо надетой набекрень шляпой, которому на все наплевать... она всегда качала головой и говорила: "До чего же он по-свински самоуверен"
