к чертям собачьим ("Going to hell in a handbasket", "going to hell in a
handcart", "going to hell in a handbag", "go to hell in a bucket",
"sending something to hell in a handbasket" and "something being like
hell in a handbasket" are variations on an American allegorical locution
of unclear origin, which describes a situation headed for disaster
inescapably or precipitately: I watched as the guy in charge did nothing and the whole place went to hell in a handbasket. • With the way he's running things, the company is going to hell in a handbasket! • After our funding was cut, our project went to hell in a handbasket. 4uzhoj) |
