Btw Pittsburgh Penguins' hockey broadcaster Mike Lange uses the phrase if a goal is scored late in the game that effectively puts the game out of reach.

Thank YOU Alexander. Honestly, I did not know this expression before your question ), and it was not so clear at once who was on the picture )), but then it was easy to find the answer ))... The exercise was worthwhile. To have an opportunity to learn something is luck and privilege. Btw how would you translate into English the genius expression - "быть обласканным уроком"? (Из грузинских переводов Б. Ахмадулиной: ..."не научен тому, не обласкан уроком")

Пусть отключат на сцене мой давно уставший микрофон...
