41 отставной козы барабанщик
• ОТСТАВШЕЙ КОЗЫ БАРАБАНЩИК obs, iron or humor[NP; fixed WO]=====⇒ an unimportant, insignificant person disregarded by everyone (because of low standing in society, at the workplace etc):- small fry (potatoes, change).—————← From a popular fair attraction of the past involving a goat and a drummer. According to some sources (V. I. Dal, М. I. Mikhelson et al.) a drummer kept time while a tame bear and a boy dressed as a goat paraded around. According to other sources (N. M. Shansky et al.) the drummer (usually a retired, " отставной", army drummer) beat out the sound backstage while a live goat stomped on an onstage drum (stomping its foot on any available object is a goat's natural way of indicating hunger).Большой русско-английский фразеологический словарь > отставной козы барабанщик
