Hello everyone again!)
I started writing a short article about the use of snuff for the nose in sayings, proverbs and phraseological units. So far I only remember six options. You definitely know some other cool phrases and sayings! Tell me, I’m sure it’s interesting not only to me

1. The town in a snuff box is a metaphor, since a music box was called a “snuff box”. Although snuff boxes are still storytellers

2. Beat your nose with tobacco: you won’t get moths in your head.

3. Urined tobacco, like a treated horse, is no good.

4. Those who sniff tobacco are like dogs. (NO, I’M PROTESTING! WE DON’T SNORT LIKE THIS )

5. The thing is tobacco. (Volga barge haulers called this when the water became shallow and the ship could run aground, from the origin of a similar word “tabah”)

6. Full, drunk and with tobacco on your nose. When everything is good and the person is happy.

5. Delo tabak, right?

Haven’t heard the rest. Could you please write down the originals (in RU, I assume)?

I can add another Russian one: za ponyushku tabaku - for a pinch of snuff (i. e. for free).

Only a couple of EN idioms come to my mind - up to snuff and dry as snuff.

“like snuff at a wake!” an old saying in Ireland.

It is a simile that is used to convey a sense of incongruity or out-of-place behavior.
when someone says something is “like snuff at a wake,” they mean it doesn’t fit the situation or is out of context, much like the inappropriate use of snuff at a solemn event like a wake.

Up to snuff (good enough/ acceptable). Not up to snuff (not good, below standard.)

Hello! Yes, of course)) Here is the original:

1. Городок в табакерке - это метафора, так как “табакеркой” назвали музыкальную шкатулку. Хотя и табакерки те еще сказочницы

2. Избивай нос табаком: в голове моль не заведется.

3. Табак моченый, что конь леченый, никуда не годится.

4. Кто нюхает табак, тот похож на собак. (НЕТ, Я ПРОТЕСТУЮ! МЫ ТАК НЕ ФЫРКАЕМ )

5. Дело - табак. (Волжские бурлаки так называли когда становилось мелководье и корабль мог сесть на мель, от происхождения схожего слова “tabah”)

6. Сыт, пьян и нос в табаке. Когда все хорошо и человек счастлив.

Delo Tabak, yes In Russia we love this expression)

Oh, thank you very much! This expression sounds very interesting!)
