1 before you can say Jack Robinson

разг.

(before you can (или could) say Jack Robinson (тж. before you can или could say knife))

немедленно, моментально; сразу же, тут же; ≈ в два счёта, в мгновение ока; и опомниться или ахнуть не успел; не успел и глазом моргнуть

The equipage dashed forward, and before you could say Jack Robinson, with a rattle and flourish drew up at Soames's door. (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Man of Property’, part II, ch. III) — Экипаж рванулся вперед и в мгновение ока с грохотом подкатил к дому Сомса.

Look here, my boy, when you're in my hotel you behave like a gentleman or you'll find yourself in the street before you can say knife. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘The Pool’) — Послушайте, любезный, когда вы находитесь в моей гостинице, извольте вести себя как подобает порядочному человеку, а не то и оглянуться не успеете, как я вышвырну вас на улицу.

I once saw one of the beasts stop at a stall of fruit and vegetables and before you could say "knife" it had cleared the place from end to end... (A. J. Cronin, ‘Hatter's Castle’, book III, ch. I) — Я раз видел, как одна корова остановилась у прилавка с фруктами и овощами, я и опомниться не успел, как она мигом очистила весь прилавок...

Mrs. Maginnis put a match to the stove. ‘Nice hot tea before you can say knife,’ she called to nobody, as she filled the kettle. (P. H. Johnson, ‘This Bed Thy Centre’, ch. I) — Миссис Магиннис наполнила чайник водой и, поставив его на плиту, сказала, ни к кому не обращаясь: - Как славно: не успеешь и глазом моргнуть, готов отличный горячий чай.

17 to a fare-you-well

амер.; разг.

основательно, здорово, полностью, до конца

We're double-crossed to a fare-you-well. (J. London, ‘The Valley of the Moon’, book II, ch. VII) — Ну и основательно же нас надули.

Be pretty nice to have as low a number as that! Everybody'd say. ‘He must be an important guy! Wonder how he got it? I'll bet he wined and dined the superintendent of the Motor Licence Bureau to a fare-you-well’ (S. Lewis, ‘Babbitt’, ch. XXI) — А все-таки приятно иметь машину с одним из первых номеров! Всякий подумает: "Наверно, важная персона! Интересно, как ему это удалось? Наверняка, поил и кормил до отвала главного автоинспектора"

Everybody knows that one, but it sure takes Dan Blalock to tell it to a fare-you-well. (E. Caldwell, ‘This Very Earth’, ch. VII) — Эта история всем известна, но никто не умеет так здорово ее рассказывать, как Дан Блалок.
