хоть святых < вон> выноси (неси, уноси)разг., неодобр., иногда шутл.lit. you have to carry out the saints (i.e. the icons) (to avoid shocking them); cf. you have to call the fire department; hell broke looseГородничий.
Да, таков уже неизъяснимый закон судеб: умный человек - или пьяница, или рожу такую состроит, что хоть святых выноси. (Н. Гоголь, Ревизор) — Mayor. Yes, it's a mysterious law of fate; your clever man is either a drunkard, or he makes such frightful grimaces that you have to carry out the saints.- Так и глядит, глаз не сводит; над каждым-то словечком его висит; так и ловит, так и ловит! - говорила потом Лизавета Прокофьевна своему супругу, - а скажи ей, что любит, так и святых вон понеси! (Ф. Достоевский, Идиот) — 'She looks at him and can't take her eyes off him; she hangs on every word he utters, she catches everything,' Lizaveta Prokofyevna said afterwards to her husband. 'But tell her that she loves him and you'll have the walls about your ears.'
Беляев.
Иной и умный, кажется, человек, а как возьмётся за перо - хоть святых вон неси. (И. Тургенев, Месяц в деревне) — Belyayev. Sometimes a man seems clever, but when he takes up a pen you have to call the fire department.Глаза [у адмирала] стали красные, как у солёного сазана. Поднялся шум - всех святых уноси. - Это что за безобразие! На судне псарню завели!.. (А. Новиков-Прибой, Подводники) — His face went livid. And then hell broke loose. 'What the blazes d'you call this? Turning the boat into a dog's kennel!' he roared.
