1 cut the painter
1) отделиться от метрополии, добиться автономии, стать самостоятельной ( о колонии) [painter в данном выражении значит фалинь (верёвка, которой шлюпка привязывается к пристани или судну)]A colonial Imperialist is one who raises colonial troops, equips a colonial squadron, claims a Federal Parliament sending its measures to the Throne instead of to the Colonial Office, and, being finally brought by this means into insoluble conflict with the insular British Imperialist, "cuts the painter" and breaks up the Empire. (B. Shaw, ‘Man and Superman’, ‘The Revolutionist's Handbook’) — Империалист-колонизатор - это тот, кто посылает войска в колонию, снаряжает колониальную эскадру, требует, чтобы решения федеральных парламентов направлялись прямо английскому монарху, минуя министерство колоний. Вследствие всего этого империалист-колонизатор вступает в неразрешимый конфликт с империалистом-изоляционистом, приходит конец колониальному господству и рушится империя.
But the very end of it was he got browned off again. Cut the painter. Did a bunk. (R. Lehmann, ‘The Echoing Grove’, ‘Midnight’) — В конце концов ему все надоело. Порвал с ней отношения и удрал.
