Tall order a request or piece of work that is almost impossible: a very difficult or formidable task, requirement, or demand. Вы говорите невозможно? Тогда обратитесь к Бертлингу, он все быстро устроит. |

tall order (idiomatic) a big job; a difficult task Трудоемкий заказ? Короткий ответ у Бертлинга (владелец кампании). |

A 'tall order' is usually a request, which is difficult to satisfy... it's a play on words with tall versus short, which I imagine won't work too well in Russian - you'll have to find something else that works in a similar fashion. For instance, expecting a car's upholstery to be completely replaced with leather from top to bottom in the space of a few hours is a bit of a tall order. |
