120 cry wolf
поднимать ложную тревогу, подорвать доверие к себе ложным призывом о помощи [намёк на басню Эзопа о пастухе, который развлекался тем, что обманывал людей, крича "волк, волк!"]‘Come, come now, Nessie,’ he replied in a low tone which could not carry to the scullery, ‘you're aye takin' about that headache. If you're always crying "wolf, wolf" we'll not be believing you when it does come to the bit.’ (A. J. Cronin, ‘Hatter's Castle’, book III, ch. I) — - Полно, полно, Несси, - отвечал Броуди, понизив голос, чтобы не слышно было в соседней комнате. - Постоянно ты жалуешься на головную боль! Помнишь рассказ о мальчике, который всегда кричал: "Волк! Волк!", так что, когда и в самом деле на него напал волк, никто ему не поверил?
