бабушкины сказки, бабьи сплетни, небылицы [этим. библ. I Timothy IV, 7]‘Another of your old wives' tales, Matteo! Nature intended you for a begging friar.’ ‘I have often thought I have missed my vocation. With my brilliant gift for telling lies in a truthful manner, I should have my way in the Church to the highest dignities.’ (W. S. Maugham, ‘The Making of a Saint’, ch. XII) — - Опять рассказываешь небылицы, Маттео! Ты же по природе своей нищенствующий монах. - Мне часто приходило в голову, что я зарыл свой талант в землю. С моей способностью лгать правдоподобно я мог бы стать хоть кардиналом.
