| просто взять и уйти | up and off (past simple – upped and offed Bullfinch) |
| просто-напросто | jolly well ("From Miss Hemmingway. Miss Hemmingway! But–but how did they come into her possession?" "How?" I said. "Because she jolly well stole them. Pinched them! Swiped them! Because that's how she makes her living, dash it – palling up to unsuspicious people in hotels and sneaking their jewellery. I don't know what her alias is, but her bally brother, the chap whose collar buttons at the back, is known in criminal circles as Soapy Sid." (P.G. Wodehouse) ART Vancouver) |
