1 jump the broom-stick
уст.пожениться, не совершая брачного обряда; ≈ повенчаться вокруг ракитового кустаThis woman in Gerrard Street here had been married very young, over the broomstick (as we say), to a tramping man, and was a perfect fury in point of jealousy. (Ch. Dickens, ‘Great Expectations’, ch. XLVIII) — Эта женщина, которая живет на Джерард-стрит, совсем девчонкой вышла замуж за какого-то бродягу, обвенчалась с ним, как говорится, вокруг ракитового куста и ревнива была как черт.
Three or four score of undergraduates... had offered her matrimony and three or four newly elected fellows were asking whether they would vacate, if they happened to jump the broomstick. (R. Blackmore, ‘Cripps, the Carrier’, ch. XIX) — Студенты колледжа... наперебой делали ей предложения, и кое-кто из вновь принятых аспирантов прикидывал в уме, стоит ли рискнуть карьерой и стать ее любовником.
