Subject: got robbed blind Soon after they had gone, he broke free from his cubicle prison. Friends gathered round, shared a beer and began to celebrate surviving such a horrific ordeal. When I arrived, just a few hours later, the gallery was still open for business like nothing had happened. Assured that he wanted to do the interview we sat down and began to release his post trauma adrenaline.“People say there is a movement to the east (London). It’s all about money and creating this image. I just got robbed blind almost killed, and I still believe that the next person that walks in could be someone that never looked at art before,” he says.

to rob someone blind = обобрать кого-то до нитки? (по-моему, не очень) Cheat someone in an unusually deceitful or thorough fashion, as in "The nurse was robbing the old couple blind". This idiom may allude to robbing a blind beggar, who cannot see that the cup collecting donations is being emptied. |
