ЧЕМ ЧЁРТ HE ШУТИТ (saying) all kinds of things could happen, anything can happen (used to express the fear that sth. bad might happen, or the hope that sth. desirable but unlikely will happen): - (there's) no telling what could (might) happen you can never tell what might happen you never can tell you never know stranger things have happened anything' possible.
К Анфисе Петровне он не собирался заходить. Откуда у неё деньги? На тех же трудоднях сидит. Но у неё был свет, и он свернул в заулок. Чем чёрт не шутит! А вдруг да выгорит (Абрамов 1). Не had not intended to visit Anfisa Petrovna. How could she have any money? She had the same workdays under her belt as everybody else. But there was a light on, so he turned into her yard. No telling what could happen. He might just strike it lucky! (1a).

Теперь мне светила вполне определённая цель - предложить эту рукопись толстым журналам. Может быть, «Юности», где я уже печатала свои очерки? Или - чем чёрт не шутит! -даже «Новому миру», где уже появился к тому времени «Иван Денисович»? (Гинзбург 2). I had assigned myself a specific aim: to offer the manuscript to the major journals. Perhaps to Yunost, where I had already published some of my pieces. Or—you never know your luck—even to Novy Mir, which by that time had already published Ivan Denisovich (2a).

Вы напишете пьесу, а мы её и поставим. Вот будет замечательно! А?.. И знаете ли, чем чёрт не шутит, вдруг старика удастся обломать...» (Булгаков 12). "You write your play and we'll put it on. Won't that be marvelous, eh?... And who knows, stranger things have happened-perhaps the old man himself may decide to produce it!" (12a).

Abbreviated form of the saying «Чем чёрт не шутит, пока (когда) Бог спит» ("The devil plays all kinds of tricks while God is asleep").

pres. sing. kem, kemr, kemr; an older form komr is used constantly in very old and good vellum MSS., as the Kb. of Sæm.; and even spelt keomr or ceomr (in Eluc., Greg., etc.); reflex. komsk, 2nd pers. kømztu ( pervenis), Sdm. 10: pret. kom, kom-k, I came, Skm. 18: 2nd pers. komt, 17, mod. komst: the pret. plur. varies, kvámu being the oldest form; kvómu, often in the MSS.; kómu, as it is still pronounced in the west of Icel.; the usual and latest form is komu, with a short vowel; the spelling of the MSS. cannot always be ascertained, as the word is usually written k^umu or q^umu: pret. subj. kvæmi and kꝍmi (kæmi): imperat. kom, kom-ðú, proncd, kondu, come thou! pret. infin. kómu ( venisse), Fms. i. 224 (in a verse), Geisli 62:—with suff. neg., pres. kmr-at or kømr-að, Akv. 11, Grág. ii. 141, Gkv. 3. 8; pret. kom-a, kom-að, came not, Ls. 56, Þorf. Karl.

The preterite forms kvam and kvaminn, used in the Edition of the Sturl. and in a few other mod. Editions without warrant in the MSS., are due to the fact that the Edition of Sturl. was published from a transcript now in the Advocates’ Library in Edinburgh, made by the learned priest Eyjolf á Völlum (died A. D. 1745), who used this spelling: in prehistoric times, before the age of writing, it may be assumed for certain that this verb had a v throughout, as in Gothic: [Ulf. qiman, i. e. qwiman, = ἔρχεσθαι; A. S. cuman; Engl. come; O. H. G. queman; Germ. kommen; Dutch komen; Dan. komme; Swed. komma; Lat. venio, qs. gvenio; the Ormul. spells cumenn, indicating a long root vowel; cp. North. E. coom.]
