3 drop smb. like a hot brick
(drop smb. (или smth.) like a hot brick (или like a hot potato))поспешно отказаться, избавиться от кого-л. (или чего-л.); бросить кого-л. (или что-л.); см. тж. a hot potatoShe was such a decided mortal; knew her own mind so terribly well; wanted things so inexorably until she got them - and then, indeed, often dropped them like a hot potato. (J. Galsworthy, ‘In Chancery’, part I, ch. VI) — Джун была весьма решительная особа, поразительно хорошо знала, чего хочет, и неуклонно добивалась всего, что бы ни задумывала, но потом, правда, нередко отказывалась от этого внезапно, словно обжегшись.
She dropped him, but not like a hot brick or a hot potato. She dropped him with infinite gentleness... she dropped him with so much tact, with such sensibility, that Jasper Gibbons perhaps hardly knew he was dropped. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Cakes and Ale’, ch. XIV) — Она его бросила, но не как горячий кирпич или горячую картошку, обжигающую руки, а с необыкновенной деликатностью... и с таким тактом и чуткостью, что Джаспер Гиббонс, возможно, и не понял, что его бросили.
She... dropped a new fashion like a hot brick as soon as everyone else took it up. (M. Dickens, ‘The Winds of Heaven’, ch. 3) — Когда новая мода становилась всеобщим достоянием, Ева... сразу же отказывалась от нее.
