the balloon goes up

the balloon goes up
разг.
тут-то и началось; ≈ заварилась каша

A chap of ours in Denmark in 1940 saw from his own window the German fleet coming down the Kattegat... Of course he knew then the balloon had gone up. (Gr. Greene, ‘Our Man in Havana’, part I, ch. III) — Один наш парень в Дании в девятьсот сороковом увидел из своего собственного окна, как германский флот идет через Каттегат... Ну, он сразу понял, что началась заваруха.

‘...she's left school,’ said Rosa. ‘Now the balloon will go up!’ (I. Murdoch, ‘The Flight from the Enchanter’, ch. V) — - Аннет ушла из школы, - сказала Роза. - Сейчас в семье такое начнется!
