3 patter of tiny feet
«Топот маленьких ножек». Это интересное выражение, эвфемизм, употребляется вместо прямого упоминания о беременности: So, you've been married two years now. When can we expect to hear the patter of tiny feet? — Итак, вы женаты уже два года. Когда же мы сможем услышать топот маленьких ножек? Это выражение, ставшее клише, возникло среди старых дев, которые испытывали чувство неловкости, если речь заходила о беременности. Сейчас его используют только юмористически.English-Russian dictionary of expressions > patter of tiny feet
