(author's usage) И вот кабы не Анфиса Петровна - ставь крест на всей затее с сенокосом. А Анфиса Петровна всем по серьге выдала (Абрамов 1). So if it hadn't been for Anfisa Petrovna, he (Mikhail) could have kissed the whole harvest idea goodbye. But Anfisa Petrovna had given them all a piece of her mind (1a).
