14 отставной козы барабанщик
шутл., ирон., пренебр.nullity, no-account; a nothing, nixie; cf. jackstraw; man of straw; no great shakesЛука на его слова мало обращает внимания, но, если солдату удастся раздражить его, Лука долго и едко ругает его. - Гарниза ты серая, крысиный объедок! Что ты можешь понимать, отставной козы барабанщик? (М. Горький, Скуки ради) — Generally Luka paid little attention to what he said, but if the soldier went too far, Luka would tear into him at length and with vengeance: 'You garrison rat, you half-chewed turnip! What're you good for, you drummer-boy to the colonel's goat?'
- То-то, - сказал Родион Мефодиевич, - нечем отвечать, хоть ты и доктор, а я отставной козы барабанщик! (Ю. Герман, Я отвечаю за всё) — 'That stumped you, didn't it, though you're a doctor and I know as much about medicine as a retired nanny-goat.'
