  • 1 cock on his own dunghill

    "петух на своей навозной куче"; ≈ царь и бог у себя дома [часть пословицы a cock is valiant on his own dunghill; см. a cock is valiant on his own dunghill]

    Some men want to be considered gods in their own homes; you'll generally find that sort of men very small potatoes outside; if they weren't they wouldn't bother so much about being cock on their own little dunghills. (H. Lawson, ‘Send Round the Hat’, ‘The Sex Problem Again’) — Некоторые мужчины хотят, чтобы дома их боготворили. В обществе такие люди, как правило, немногого стоят. Потому-то у себя дома они и петушатся.

    Mr. Meek was a little shrivelled man, but by all accounts he was cock on his own dunghill. (DEI) — Мистер Мик был маленьким сморщенным человечком, но дома, судя по всему, он держался важной персоной.
