["curry favour" искажённое curry favel от ст.-фр. estriller fauvel чистить скребницей рыжую лошадь; рыжая лошадь считалась олицетворением хитрости и обмана]‘And I tell you...’ retorted the sportsman in huge disdain, ‘That I'll make a moor-cock of the man that refuses my toast, whether it be a crop-eared English Whig wi' a black ribbon at his lug, or one who deserts his own friends to claw favour wi' the rats of Hanover.’ (W. Scott, ‘Waverley’, ch. VI) — - А я вам заявляю... - ответил охотник с превеликим презрением, - что я пристрелю, как собаку, всякого, кто не выпьет со мной моей здравицы, будь то корноухий английский виг с черной лентой на ухе или тот, кто бросает своих друзей, чтобы подмазаться к ганноверским крысам.

Heym, ‘The Crusaders’, book II, ch. 9) — Девитт взглянул на Иейтса с удивлением, но без неудовольствия. Лейтенант никогда не искал его общества - вероятно, не хотел прослыть подхалимом.
