  • 2 ставить на попа

    прост.
    1) (установить вертикально, стоймя) stand smth. on end; set smth. four-square

    А тут, на пустыре, снег белый, чистый, сухой, зато он плохо лепится: вот ты скатал уже порядочный ком, но только примешься ставить его на попа - ком рассыпается, и надо всё начинать сначала. (Ю. Нагибин, Дети лепят из снега) — But here on the waste ground the snow is white and clean and dry, though on the other hand it models badly: there you have already rolled together a decent-sized lump, but as soon as you set about standing it on end, the lump falls apart and you have to start it all from the beginning.

    2) (энергично, решительно браться за что-либо, исправлять что-либо) get things put to rights

    - Прибыл к заводу - это хорошо, Чумалов. Найдём и тебе работу. Будем ставить дело на попа. (Ф. Гладков, Цемент) — 'You've come back to the factory - that is good, Chumalov, you'll be starting work now. We'll have to get thingsput to rights.'

    3) (прямо, открыто (говорить, спрашивать и т. п.)) prefer plain speaking; cf. call a spade a spade

    - Отлично сделали! - повторил он. - Подобные вопросы надо ставить на попа. Ложная деликатность тут может только повредить. (А. Бек, Жизнь Бережкова) — 'You did right!' he repeated. 'Plain speaking is always best in such matters. False delicacy may only do harm.'
