Russian term

с горя

Russian to English Other
Он сказал – что мы его подставляем, что мы падлы, он там, типа, для нас уже метнулся, все взял на свое бабло, занял у соседки, и мы срочно должны сейчас скупить весь этот симплекс, а то он просто нереально попадет. То есть мы еще отбрыкивались от него еще полчаса после того, как выяснилось, что мы у него не собирались покупать у него эти полтора куба. Потом **с горя** [reluctantly? unwillingly?], но не сразу, он стал рассказывать нам, как готовят эти наркотики и рассказывать о процессе приготовления.
