My grandma used to say : To a gitz to a fortz. I think "to" was from Russian, like either ..or. a gitz is a bad guy and a fortz is a fortress? Meaning one bad thing after another?

Grandfather was born at the turn of the last century. Had to quit school to help his support his family. He still quoted Shakespeare. "Nothing in life is good or bad, only thinking makes it so."
