попытка на авосьstresses
gen. pot-shot; Hail Mary (A plan or project with little chance of success. Oxford Dictionary of English: Nobody thought this was a 60-win team, mind you, but certainly a strong enough group to return to the playoffs without a Hail Mary deal. I can only imagine this was the perp's attempt at a Hail Mary to get key evidence thrown out. Alexander Demidov)
