ОСТАЛИСЬ РОЖКИ ДА НОЖКИ от кого-чего coll VP subj. the verb may take the final position, otherwise fixed WOpractically nothing is left of s.o. or sth.: от X-a остались рожки да ножки — only bits and pieces (of X) remained (were left)virtually ( next to) nothing was left of X (in limited contexts) nothing was left of animal/person X but the bones and the beak.Мать, Анна Савишна, поселилась у Ларичевых с тех пор, как в одну из вёсен полой водой смыло под обрыв старую хату... «Ремонтировать бесполезно», - сказал Ларичев и... распорядился: «Взять веши, какие остались, маму - к нам». Анна Савишна что-то говорила про «инструмент» -пианино... Александр Иванович ее высмеял - от «инструмента» остались рожки да ножки. Мать покорилась (Грекова 3). Anna Savishna had moved in with the Larichevs one spring when the flood waters had washed the old house over the cliff...."No use fixing it," Larichev had said. "Take whatever is left, she's coming to live with us." Anna Savishna said something about the "instrument," the upright piano....Alexander Ivanovich made fun of her-only bits and pieces of the instrument remained—and Anna Savishna gave in (3a).Вдруг раздался треск, отломились сразу обе передние ножки. Забыв друг о друге, противники принялись терзать ореховое кладохранилише... Спинка отлетела, отброшенная могучим порывом... Через пять минут стул был обглодан. От него остались рожки да ножки (Ильф и Петров 1). Suddenly there was a crack and both front legs broke off simultaneously. Forgetting about one another, the opponents began tearing the walnut treasure-chest to pieces....The back was torn off with a mighty tug.... Five minutes later the chair had been picked clean. Bits and pieces were all that was left (1a)....Швондер и есть самый главный дурак. Он не понимает, что Шариков для него еще более грозная опасность, чем для меня. Ну, сейчас он всячески старается натравить его на меня, не соображая, что если кто-нибудь, в свою очередь, натравит Шарикова на самого Швондера, то от него останутся только рожки да ножки!» (Булгаков 11). ".Shvonder is the biggest fool of all. He doesn't see that Sharikov is much more of a threat to him than he is to me Right now he's doing all he can to turn Sharikov against me, not realizing that if someone in his turn sets Sharikov against Shvonder himself, there'll soon be nothing left of Shvonder but the bones and the beak" (lib)
