21 to kingdom come
эвф.на тот свет [kingdom-come загробный, потусторонний мир; выражение из молитвы "Отче наш": thy kingdom come приидет царствие твое]And no more shall I write I swear until this gale is blown out, or we are blown to Kingdom-Come. (J. London, ‘The Mutiny of the ‘Elslinore’’, ch. XL) — Даю себе слово, больше не буду писать, пока этот адский ветер не стихнет или не умчит нас в царство теней.
‘Those people have one great misfortune, Colonel House,’ remarked the professor. ‘They are sitting on one of the world's great oil deposits.’ ‘I know,’ said the other. ‘It may explode and blow us all to kingdom come.’ (U. Sinclair, ‘Worlds End’, ch. 28) — - Этому народу в одном не повезло, полковник Хаус, - заметил профессор. - Он сидит на богатейшем в мире месторождении нефти. - Да, - сказал Хаус, - я знаю. И все это того и гляди взлетит на воздух, и мы тоже, за компанию.
If she suddenly popped off to kingdom come there'd be nobody left to think and plot and slave, and then where would they all be? (R. Aldington, ‘Very Heaven’, part I, ch. 2) — Если она отправится вдруг на тот свет, кто же будет думать и заботиться о них и работать на всех как рабыня? что же тогда с ними со всеми станет?
