20 dry behind the ears
When you bastards get dry behin' the ears, you'll maybe learn to let an ol' fella [= old fellow] sleep. (J. Steinbeck, ‘The Grapes of Wrath’, ch. X) — Сукины дети, поспать старику не дадут. Молоко еще на губах не обсохло, не понимаете, что старику нужен покой.
Root blustered: ‘You think you're hell on wheels just because you been out a few times. You'd think you was a hundred to hear you talk.’ ‘I'm dry behind the ears, anyway,’ said Dick. (J. Steinbeck, ‘The Long Valley’, ‘The Raid’) — - Несколько раз побывал на собраниях и уже возомнил о себе. Тебя послушать, так ты уже на всем этом собаку съел, - кипятился Рут. - А я действительно не новичок, - ответил Дик.
