разг."визжать как свинья недорезанная", верещатьEh, remember the Councils of Action in 1920. They were something different. All over England, to stop the war against the Soviet Union... And what did Lloyd George do? He squealed like a stuck pig. Soviets, he said, these Councils of Action are Soviets. And he stopped the war against Russia, double quick! (J. Lindsay, ‘Betrayed Spring’, ‘Lancashire’) — Эх, помню я Комитеты действия в 1920 году. Тогда это было совсем другое дело. По всей Англии они создавались, чтобы прекратить войну против Советского Союза... А что делал Ллойд Джордж? Визжал как свинья недорезанная. Это, мол, советские комитеты.
