122 raise the roof
разг.1) устроить скандал, поднять шум; взбелениться, взбеситься; ≈ на стен(к)у лезть (тж. hit the roof)...if she were cross she'd raise the roof, break anything. (J. B. Priestley, ‘The Good Companions’, book I, ch. V) —...когда моя сестра в плохом расположении духа, ей ничего не стоит устроить грандиозный скандал и разбить все, что подвернется под руку.
Reuben: "What's he shouting about?.. has he heard about Ada and me?.. he'll raise the roof!" (E. O'Neill, ‘Dynamo’, act I) — Рубен: "Что это отец раскричался?.. Уж не прослышал ли он о нас с Адой?.. Вот будет бушевать!"
My steady doesn't object when I take Charley Palmer someplace. But if I as much as look at anyone else he raises the roof. (J. O'Hara, ‘The Instrument’, ch. III) — Мой жених не возражает, если я подвезу куда-нибудь Чарли Палмера, но, если я взгляну на кого-нибудь другого, он прямо на стенку лезет.
2) сильно шуметь, буйно вести себя, буянитьThe party at the farm cottage had raised the roof in every sense... Hundreds of pounds of damage had been done that night. (M. Dickens, ‘The Heart of London’, part III) — Гости, собравшиеся на вечеринку к фермеру, вели себя так буйно, что наделали убытку в сотни фунтов...
For heaven's sake... can't a man get a little sleep around here without you kids raising the roof? (A. Marx, ‘Life with Groucho’, ch. XV) — Черт бы вас побрал, ребята!.. Неужели надо так орать, когда человек спит?
3) громко приветствовать, бурно аплодировать‘You know, it makes up for a lot when I see a crowd of miners before me: all those tough worn faces looking rapt and lit up when I sing to them.’ ‘The men think the world of you,’ Sally told her. ‘You're still little Vi'let O'Brien to them.’ ‘At that concert for strike funds I thought they'd raise the roof.’ Violet smiled to a recollection which pleased and flattered her. ‘You never heard such a bawling and stamping, cheers and encores.’ (K. S. Prichard, ‘Golden Miles’, ch. 51) — - Знаете, это многое искупает, когда поешь для наших горняков и видишь, как эти угрюмые, измученные люди слушают тебя, затаив дыхание, и как светлеют их лица! - Здесь все боготворят вас, - сказала Салли. - Для всех вы по-прежнему маленькая Вайолет О'Брайен. - На том концерте в пользу забастовщиков я думала, что они разнесут весь зал, - с довольной улыбкой сказала Вайолет, отдаваясь приятным и лестным для нее воспоминаниям. - Вы бы послушали, как они орали, топали, кричали бис!
