4 гусь лапчатый
прост., неодобр.cf. sly (cunning) rogue (beggar); a sly (cunning) one; queer customer; artful (fast) fellow; old fox; bad eggРаза два его рот покривился в насмешливую улыбку: гусю лапчатому не нравились почему-то ни мой протокол, ни протокол врачей. (А. Чехов, Драма на охоте) — Two or three times his mouth was drawn to one side in a sarcastic smile: for some reason neither my official report nor the doctors' pleased this cunning rogue.
- В тюрьме сидел? - Так точно, ваше бродье. - За что? - Не могу знать. - Э, да ты, я вижу, гусь лапчатый... (А. Новиков-Прибой, Шалый) — 'Been in prison?' 'Yessir.' 'What for?' 'Don't know, sir.' 'H'm, a bad egg, I see.'
- Неудобно мне, знаешь, одному мужику среди женщин крутиться. Поглядывают на меня девочки подозрительно. Наверно, меж собой говорят, сороки: "Всех разослал, а сам остался, гусь лапчатый", или ещё пообиднее что-нибудь. (Н. Островский, Как закалялась сталь) — 'It's awkward for me here, the only man among all these women. You ought to see the nasty looks they give me. I'm sure they're saying: 'Look, the sly beggar, sent everybody off, but stays on himself!' Or something worse still.'

5 тёртый калач
разг.old hand (stager); slick customer; tough customer; sly dog; cunning rogue (fox); one who has been around (has knocked about)Это человек опытный,... не злой и не добрый, а более расчётливый; это тёртый калач, который знает людей и умеет ими пользоваться. (И. Тургенев, Записки охотника) — He was a man of experience...; he was actuated by prudence more than by either good or ill nature; had knocked about, understood men, and knew how to turn them to his own advantage.
Атаман прикрутил короткий ус. На морщинистом лице его мелькнула такая хитрецкая улыбка, что нельзя было не подумать: ну и тёртый калач! (С. Голубов, Багратион) — The Ataman twirled his stubby moustache and a smile flashed across his wrinkled face, so sly that one could not help thinking: cunning fox.
- Да ведь он же поднадзорный! - сказал ротмистр с упрёком. - Слышал. Однако полагал, что человек исправляется. - Исправляется? - обрезал ротмистр начальственно. - Не слыхал, чтобы такие тёртые калачи, этакие стреляные воробьи исправлялись. (К. Федин, Первые радости) — 'But you knew he was under police surveillance!' the other exclaimed reproachfully. 'So I'd heard. Still, I thought he was going straight? 'Going straight, indeed?' the gendarme rejoined brusquely. 'I've never heard of such a thing. Never. The idea! Such out-and-out, experienced old jailbirds never go straight!'
