Russian term or phrase: было такое, что всё летело со стола
Он подошел ко мне и спросил: «Павел! Скажи, было такое, что всё летело со стола вместе со скатертью, с самоваром, с чашками, тарелками, со всем, что собрала мама?». «Было», — сказал я, глядя на всех взрослых и на отца тоже.

Здесь сын свидетельствует о буйных припадках пьяного отца.
