Let the cat out of the bag, английский
This phrase, which today implies divulging secret information, originated when a shipboard flogging was about to occur and the boatswain ceremoniously removed the cat-o’-ninetails from its blood-red storage bag.
Left in the lurch, английский
Some sources claim that this phrase, commonly meaning to be trapped helplessly while others make their escape, refers to a ship failing to recover from the heavy roll known as a lurch. in fact, it is probably derived from the popular 16th century french game of lourche. in this game, which is said to have resembled backgammon, anyone who fell so far behind that a win was virtually impossible was said to “demeurer lourche” (live in lurch). the word also occurs in the more recent game of cribbage, where a player who is less than half-way around the board when the winner finishes is said to have been “lurched’ and loses double the stake.
