    She says if Marjorie Ferrar is not taken by the short hairs, she'll put it across everybody... (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Silver Spoon’, part I, ch. XI) — Она говорит, что, если вовремя не остановить Марджори Феррар, она будет болтать направо и налево...

    She's not only got you by the short hairs, but you're as pleased as Punch that she has. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘Virtue’) — Ты у Марджори под башмаком и рад-радехонек этому.

    According to Michael, they must take it by the short hairs and give as good as they got, or they might as well put up the shutters. (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Silver Spoon’, part I, ch. XI) — По мнению Майкла, нужно было идти напролом, иначе вообще не стоило ничего начинать.

    But what I do get is this: if this thing pans out, it'll be bigger than the movies, bigger than radio - you'll have the whole damned entertainment industry by the short hairs. (M. Wilson, ‘My Brother, My Enemy’, ch. 2) — Но я знаю одно: если у вас что-нибудь получится, то эта штука переплюнет кино, переплюнет радио; вы, ребятки, зажмете в кулак всю промышленность, поставляющую развлечения.

  • 2 thinny

    сущ.; SK, DT
    ••
    червоточина, (исстончина)
    Место, где ткань реальности истончилась до предела.

    But now we have come to a thinny. We must be very careful.” / “A thinny?” Jake asked, looking around nervously. / “Places where the fabric of existence is almost entirely worn away. There are more since the force of the Dark Tower began to fail. Do you remember what we saw below us when we left Lud?” — Но сейчас мы подошли к червоточине, а потому требуется предельная осторожность. / – Червоточине? – Джейк нервно огляделся. / – Так называется место, где ткань реальности истончается до предела. Их стало больше с тех пор, как Темная Башня начала терять силу. Помнишь, что мы видели под нами, когда выезжали из Лада? (ТБ 4)

    This is one of those worlds; the thinny we can hear is one of those doors… only one much bigger than the ones we found on the beach. — Сейчас мы в одном из таких миров. Червоточина, которую мы слышим, – одна из дверей… только гораздо больше тех, что мы нашли на берегу океана. (ТБ 4)

    Jake took two shells and put them in his ears. Eddie took the last two, but first he tried the ones he’d shaken from the box. They muffled the sound of the thinny, but it was still there, vibrating in the center of his forehead, making his eyes water the way they did when he had a cold, making the bridge of his nose feel like it was going to explode. — Джейк взял два патрона, вставил в уши. Эдди достались два последних, но сначала он воспользовался своими, которые вытряхнул из коробки. Они приглушили звук, но он остался, вибрируя в центре лба, заставляя глаза слезиться, как при простуде, а в переносице возникло такое ощущение, что она раздувается и вот-вот взорвется. (ТБ 4)
