without so much as a by-your-leave

    0.04 sec.
without so much as a by-your-leave (old-fashioned)
if you say that someone does something without so much as a by-your-leave, you mean you are angry because they did not ask your permission to do it. That's twice now he's just marched in here without so much as a by-your-leave and picked a book off my shelf!
See also: much, without
