English term or phrase: you're a damn sight
“You’re a damn sight,” said Edith, nodding, her permed hair bobbing with the motion. She took a dainty sip from her glass, sighed, and then swallowed the rest of the contents in three gulps.
“So I’ve been told,” Holly replied.
[...]
“We should do this more often,” Holly said, breathing heavily. A moment later, she felt warm fingers give her own hand a comforting squeeze.
“I’d like that, dearie. But I was telling you straight, you look like shit. What’s going on?”
Holly opened her eyes fully again, peering across the divide between the balconies, smiling at Edith. “You’re sweet.”
“And I have a bullshit meter the size of Alaska. Don’t dodge. What’s wrong?”

Hai una faccia da far paura: pallida, scavata, tesa; anzi, sei tutto teso: teso come una corda di violino ormai sul punto di spezzarsi.

LINDA (premurosa, con tenerezza) Dove sei stato tutto il giorno? Hai una faccia da far paura.
