121 scarce as hen's teeth
разг.весьма скудные, редкие; ≈ кот наплакал [первонач. амер.]English and American hands were as scarce as hen's teeth in this unhealthy place. (W. Foster, ‘Pages from a Worker's Life’, ch. II) — Английских и американских рабочих насчитывались единицы в этом гиблом месте.
Men have to stay home and work. The women travel. Good-looking men are scarce as hen's teeth. Most of the men are the ones who have retired twenty years too late. (E. S. Gardner, ‘The Case of the Glamorous Ghost’, ch. 2) — Мужчины остаются дома и работают. Путешествуют женщины. Интересных мужчин кот наплакал. Большинство здешних мужчин ушли на пенсию с опозданием на двадцать лет.
Horses are scarcer than hen's teeth round here. (Suppl) — Лошадей здесь днем с огнем не сыщешь.
