"No brainer" and other popular expressions. No clue

31.03.2019

Does anyone know where the ears grow from this expression, which filled the Lately speech of fellow citizens? A journalist from the newspaper "Kultura" explains how to get to the editorial office: "... you will see a yellow house and you will enter the archway..." The process of entry is very interesting. Commentator: "... and this kind of plane ..." Would you like to fly on such a unit? I wonder what he looks like? Art historian: "... and Lermontov, as it were, thought ..." I am silent, silent. ;O)

Discussion

;o) Another option: they use it when they don't want to give a definite answer. Or "responsible for the bazaar";))) After all, saying "I agree" or "I kind of agree" is two big differences: o)))

Well, his ears have been growing for a long time, about 10 years. :))

I heard such an interpretation that this expression is so deeply embedded in our language due to the fact that suddenly everything built and unbuilt suddenly collapsed and stopped being completed and, accordingly, everything became unstable and incomprehensible, and all confidence in the future fell. It's like "life".

Here. But I've heard that too for a long time.

Good day to all. A friend recently told me that she and her husband have a separate budget. She is on maternity leave with a child, works from home, her husband has a business and office work. Everyone pays for their own wishes, everything general expenses exactly on top. She is completely satisfied with this. He says that it’s easier this way, you don’t need to ask your husband for a manicure. At first, I was indignant inside myself that this was unfair. If there were two childless people, I quite understand this, but if a woman sits with a child, she, as it were ...

Discussion

You better not think about them at all. That family like this suits and you can’t convince them. You may be satisfied differently. But, believe me, it’s much better than she is on maternity leave, she works, and her husband is neither with the child, nor at work, and does not help in any way. And such options are also suitable for some. Live the way you like. A separate budget is not the worst thing.

Open a joint bank account, each with a card. Everything is transparent. Large expenses to be discussed in advance.

Babyboxes: How long will new attempts take and which ones?.

Alexander Kovalenin, RVS expert At the Hearings at Astakhov's on March 21, my speech was near the end, when it became obvious that no one needed arguments against the boxes, since everyone was unanimous. Therefore, I stopped at where the legs of such ideas grow from. I started with the question that P. A. Astakhov opened the Hearings with: how much longer are we going to distract serious and useful people from the matter to discuss such frivolous and unfounded ideas? I gave my answer - another year and a half, and tried ...

My daughter is about seven years old. She never hid from her anything related to human physiology. Always calmly, without emphasizing answered all the "sexual" questions. But the daughter becomes more and more obsessed with them, asking for the hundredth time "When my breasts grow" "When I become a girl." Her attention is riveted to my chest, at any opportunity she tries to touch it. The situation is aggravated by the fact that she began to clearly draw the genitals, breasts of her princesses ...

Discussion

Don't focus on yourself. I think it will go away on its own with age. Understand - these are similar interests for an adult and questions have a "bad" connotation, but for a child, this is one of the many questions related to the knowledge of the world. "When will my breasts grow?" he cares no more and no less than "Why does the grasshopper chirp?" or "Why is the sky blue?" and "Why do fish need gills?"
Try to divert her attention to something else as unobtrusively as possible. I think that this interest is temporary.

I thought for a long time about what to do - I would have acted something like this:
- I would tell my daughter that I understand her interest in these places and her desire to become an adult as soon as possible, but I don’t like that you draw and show and discuss it with strangers and children. Feel free to discuss this with me if you like. And as you do - it is not accepted.
I would go to a psychologist.

It turns out that not everything is as simple as we sometimes advise each other here in the conference. I understood this when I went with my 2-year-old son to the Center for Child Health and Development of the National Institute of Child Development in Otradnoye for the diagnosis of abilities. By the way, I also found out about them at the conference. So. We went with a friend - we have children the same age. And how differently they behaved! Showed different skills-achievements, in general different development, behavior. I have to admit that mine blundered, although in life ...

They gave an example of "Rastudy her in a swing" :)) So she gets me for the second day, asking for help. The only thing that came to my mind was "I hate it." Tell me what comes to your mind, and if possible, a short explanation of the meaning - origin. After all, they ask...

Girls, tell me I'm not the only one! :((((I have terrible problem- All my pants cut into my pubis!!! I understand that this is in theory a pattern problem. But lately, EVERYONE has hit me. Especially flared from the hip. When you try to take a larger size, they simply do not fit well, because they are large. And so my question is - does anyone know of any device that could be put under - like a sanitary napkin, only harder - so that it does not look so indecent? :((((

I also have this problem. Of the budget brands, the "Orange" trousers fit perfectly (1000-1700 rubles).

IMHO this is a feature of your figure, below Platinum wrote correctly. Too much distance from the waist to, so to speak, the place where the legs grow from. So either pick up the patterns (try the German ones, they often do with a high waist, or sew in the atelier

Dear ladies, in fact, my question is this - have any of you met worthy articles / links about the impact of an unsuccessful start (in our case, birth at 29 weeks, weight 1300, cesarean, stay in the hospital without a mother for two months, absence breastfeeding at all) on the subsequent psychological formation of the child's personality (ek, wrapped).

I somehow came across an article in Norwegian-English
there were studied 600 children born at 28-30 weeks
and 300 at 24-26 weeks
children were followed up to 2nd grade school
infants born before 27 weeks of age and particularly low birth weight were more likely to have MBD ADHD
in children from 28 weeks, such violations practically did not occur, that is, they occurred with the same probability as in children born on time

The child is 2 years old - he ALWAYS holds his hands in his mouth. I don’t know what to do, and it’s only been happening for the last 3-4 months, before that everything was fine. The pacifier was abandoned for a year. I scold, I persuade --- nothing helps (((. Already started doing it on the street. How to be and from what?

Discussion

If it just appeared, then this is a reaction to changed conditions, as written below. My IMHO draw as little attention to this as possible. The more noise around the problem, the more chances to fix the habit. At these moments, give something into your hands, or occupy yourself with something, or simply silently take your hand away. And look for where "legs grow."

offer again a pacifier or other sucking alternative - mine can peacefully suck on a hat tie in the street.
Some problems - the changes affected him.

Topic about mothers and children inspired. I remembered how my sister for expression the highest degree of delight used the expression "fall behind the chest." Where she got this from - no one could understand, but everyone was very impressed. In general, verbiage as a type of word creation is very popular, including on the Internet - for example, the word "namana" (normal) - I don’t know how anyone, but it just makes me cringe. :-) And at home as soon as people do not excel. ..

Oh, we have an employee at work "prolific" with such turnovers :-)))
"Smelly Pond" is if everything is bad.
"You me like (sorry :-))) with a sickle in the balls!" - if the supplier, for example, requires money :-)))

"Song without button accordion" - about something out of the ordinary

I so understood in them the whole root of all the sores I have! And now the vessels burst on the legs, they said vasculitis from chronic diseases such as tonsillitis-tonsillitis, where there are all sorts of staphylococci (or whatever they are) and right now the thrush has still formed, just after the last sore throat was treated with antibiotics ... The last six months, in general, every a month and a half stable! No pace, but the throat specifically hurts like that, red, with or without traffic jams. In general, now the question is - HOW TO GET RID OF PERMANENT ANGINA!?

Discussion

First of all, you need to go to the ENT to take the sowing from the tonsils. It is necessary to determine what kind of infection is there, otherwise everything under the definition of "tonsillitis" is thrown into a heap. I am currently suffering from this myself. Complication after bronchitis has earned.
If this is mycosis of the pharynx (pharynx) - the dog will sort it out, then some types of drugs are prescribed. I was prescribed Stomatidin for rinsing (at first they offered to chew nystatin, but this is beyond my strength), then, any drug to restore the flora - well, there is Lactusan, Probiform, Linnex - to choose from, and something to raise immunity. I bought Zinkit. Yes, they also banned smoking (well, I didn’t smoke), and drinking (schaz). Follow a certain diet - nothing spicy, salty, fatty, more sour-milk products.
Here, and if there is something else in the throat, then I can categorically recommend the Medcrionica clinic. Search Google, she was on the 2nd Vysheslavtsev lane, on Novoslobodka. THERE I was saved from tonsillitis throughout my pregnancy. The clinic specializes in ENT manipulations with liquid nitrogen. I was burned with liquid frozen nitrogen tonsils three times in a row with a break of a week. The procedure is unpleasant, but bearable. But then, for almost 3 years, she suffered nothing.

Girls, Dr. Sichinava Otto Varlamovich helped me. Type his name into a search engine. Quite famous. For 8 years now I have not been sick with sore throats, when there is a cold, then only a runny nose and general malaise. And I turned to him in a terrible state - after another sore throat, otitis media had already begun. Cured both me and the child for which he is very grateful. I even brought my mother from another city to him. He washed the tonsils with a special solution from a pistol, and then smeared them with medicine. Did the procedure 6-7.

There, downstairs, Sothis wrote me the phrase "to make torn years." To my wild amazement and assertion that in Russian Sarah Barabou said that the teacher at school regularly promised to arrange such a thing for them at school. Attention is a question. Have you ever heard this expression? Is it normative Russian or wandered from somewhere? Does it have geo-referencing? And give him precise definition please if you know him! And if you don't know, don't be silent either :)

Aggressive behavior children, even their own, often confuses adults. As adults feel stronger, wiser, and see their role as that of a protector and teacher, the vicious attacks and destructive activity of some children become very unexpected for them. In addition, aggressive defiant behavior often evokes in adults not the best reciprocal feelings, which they do not even know they have in themselves ...
... In addition, aggressive defiant behavior often evokes in adults not the best reciprocal feelings that they did not even suspect they had: rage, a desire to “smear it on the wall”, etc. All children go through periods in their normal development when they learn to control themselves, to restrain spontaneous anger. The assimilation of social norms and rules for expressing one's discontent begins at the age of 2-3 years. In a successful variant, the child gradually learns to find ways of expression acceptable to himself and his environment. negative emotions and ways to get what you want. If the reactions of the parents are consistent and reasonable, then gradually the child will learn that, for example, a tantrum is not a way to get what you want, and a fight is not the best way.

Discussion

Thank you for the article. I will try the advice in practice. I especially consider it necessary the advice "If he is "carried away", it is important not to "infect" his emotions, but try to maintain emotional balance.", because this is difficult to do if the tantrum lasts about an hour.

"Load oranges in barrels"?

It will turn out, perhaps, long, but please be patient ... This is the problem we have. My eldest, Volodya, turned three in December, not so long ago he became the eldest, Katyusha, a little over a year old. In September, Vova went to the garden. Recently (although recently, I probably said in vain - three months already ...) to any action that he does not like, Vova reacts unequivocally: I do not love you! You are bad! Most often, grandmothers and nannies suffer from this, less often - dad, grandfather, me - mom. Wherein...

Discussion

The child did not come up with this phrase himself - someone already tried to manipulate him by uttering these words in his address. This is the first...
Second: the child does not put into these words the meaning that offends you so much. This is a phrase on duty to express his dissatisfaction and desire to change the course of the situation in his favor ...

I also want to add that most likely your baby needs you to say for him what he feels at the moment when he utters these words. Soon he will learn to distinguish shades of feelings: discontent, disappointment, annoyance, anger, resentment.
Sometimes it is difficult for an adult to understand what is happening to him and to express these complex feelings in words. Moreover, the kid does not yet have either a sufficient number of words for self-expression, or a tool for determining what is happening to him.
Where do the legs of all whims grow from? They happen because the child, feeling discomfort, is not able to determine its cause (hunger, fatigue, etc.) and talk about it in words.
You can, for example, next time, in response to his "statement", try to calmly say to yourself what is in his this moment worries: "You must be very angry with me. Let's think about why this happened." And then say the whole previous situation, not forgetting to put into words the accompanying emotions.

And in general, I advise you to pronounce all emotions. This morning I caught my daughter in front of the mirror doing the following exercise: she changed her facial expression and at the same time said “Upset”, “Rejoiced”. I suddenly remembered that I had already heard it before, and with exactly the same intonations, who said it in front of me. It turned out that my daughter remembered the exercise that we did in music class 3 months ago.
Now I want to try to read a suitable book to her, looking at the facial expressions in the pictures and discussing all the joyful and sad emotions.

What is learning without effort? I can also say that I learned without effort. Reading was a pleasure, I read a lot, on my own from the age of 4. Homework I did it very fast, but I did it. wrote essays, additional literature I read in all subjects, in encyclopedias and dictionaries I did not consider it an effort. And here is my daughter, what kind of apple is there, rather a cucumber. She is smart, but she doesn’t like to read (she knows how to read from the age of 4 - we were a progressive family, we were engaged in early development almost from birth and ...

Discussion

Here I already wrote about early development. I was also progressive, Montessori frames, Nikitin's cubes (I did everything myself, where did I get all this 11 years ago). And I came to the conclusion that I overdid it. Mine also learns the way you described your daughter. I read in a book about the benefits and harms of early development that the earlier you start teaching children to read, the less they are inclined to creative, independent activity. Those. if they see only squiggles in letters, then this does not ground their imagination. Well, if we see letters in a language we do not know, the brain does not “linger” on them, and if we see inscriptions in a language that we know, we automatically begin to read. But this is a read-only example. In general, it now seems to me that this is where the "legs grow from." You need to develop something, but in a different way.

Effortless study is when you drink and walk for the whole semester, live for your own pleasure, skip half of classes, do not open the textbook, and then come to the exam, answer, and the teacher says to you "this, of course, is the answer to 5, but I give you 5 I won't put it in because you've been messing around all semester, okay?" and the person replies - "I generally agree to 3." I knew a couple of these people. But they usually don't complete their studies, leave and live so well and have a lot of money. :)) One became a KPMG consultant with 3.5 philology courses. :))

We have an announcement hanging in the entrance: "Dear neighbors (my remark is that it is customary for us to address) and guests! Keep it clean, wipe your feet at the entrance!" Well, one of the connoisseurs of the Russian language crossed out the word "legs" and signed "shoes" on top. Which option is correct?)

Discussion

Wipe your feet is a fixed expression describing the procedure proposed in the ad.
It doesn't matter if those feet are shod or not. In the end, if someone enters the entrance barefoot, then the announcement applies to him.

Further, living with this feeling of one's own "badness" and "unlovedness", a person cannot fully develop. “And children,” says Zhanna Shopina, “for all their plasticity, most of all want to please adults. Inwardly, unconsciously, from birth, they all want to be good. Besides, baby, while he hasn't reached adolescence, most of all needs an expression of love in his address. And, if a mother from time to time discusses his appearance with a child, she thereby indicates the direction where and how this love can be earned.

Indeed, all our problems are from childhood, and it is our parents who inspire us with these fears. For example, why talk about a babayka - so that the child lies in a dark room at night and is afraid to fall asleep?

There are two questions: what does this mean, and how to deal with it. Married for 7 years, children together, the youngest will soon be a year old. And for the last six months, maybe more already, the husband is constantly clinging to some stupidly insignificant household trifles. It seems that he is annoyed by the way I do EVERYTHING. Examples: - if I am cooking and he enters the kitchen, he will definitely reduce the burner setting. It doesn’t matter what kind of dish it is and what mode it requires. It doesn’t matter if it’s cooked for him or not (for example, pancakes, which he doesn’t eat himself, and ...

Discussion

Hello.
By what you write, there is a feeling that there are some two levels of communication on which you and your husband are talking. The first level is superficial, on which, in fact, all sorts of small nitpicks appear at the level of words and actions: the power of fire on the stove is not the same, the curd is not finished, etc. But there is another level - a deeper one, and it seems that at this level either one of you, or both of you unconsciously feel that some kind of tension has accumulated in your relationship, which does not go away on its own, and discontent, resentment, and even anger ... It is significant that the first thought that you had is that your husband could have a mistress. However, if suddenly this man came to see me about difficulties in marriage, then by his behavior I would rather assume that you brought the lover, and not him.
Perhaps what I will offer you will seem a little strange and unusual to you, but it can be very useful for you and for your relationship with your spouse: tell me what is happening in your relationship in recent months? What YOUR words, actions, deeds, behavior can provoke your husband to these nit-picking? How do you, figuratively speaking, anger / annoy him?

Has anything changed in your appearance or smell or anything like that lately? Health, medicine? Well, it’s impossible to make a remark for something, but it didn’t annoy less.
I can now bear the brain because of the dearly beloved home sleeveless rag, which would be better worn in my absence. Maybe the number of such "rags" exceeded his ability to be above the little things in love for you?

There is some inflammation in the body, probably. What other symptoms besides the temperature itself? Throat, snot? I don’t want to scare, but we once had this for pneumonia - it seems that there were no external symptoms at all, and the temperature did not subside.

The basis of banal rickets is a lack of vitamin D, which is absolutely necessary for mineralization. bone tissue, normal activity of the central nervous system and internal organs.

This disease is mentioned in the writings of Soranus of Ephesus and Galen, dated to the second century BC.

Early child development: benefit or harm to the baby. How not to cross the critical line: the destructive whim of inexperienced parents.

Discussion

Early development lives and wins - in fact, from time immemorial, the light has stood on it.
Unfortunately, I haven’t read any more inaccuracies than in this article about earlier development.
I do not want to offend the author, but, alas, he himself, one might say, offends thousands of readers - parents :).
So, out of a hundred and fifty objections, for now I will only state a few in order to continue the discussion. For my inaccuracies, please excuse or correct me.
1. Early development has been known for three thousand years, but was hidden. This discovery was made after a technique was invented in Russia (and nowhere else!) that made it possible to teach children to read up to one year (Tyulenev, Sharovarov). It can be considered proven by numerous facts that the most intelligent and active, in the sense of intellectual actions and creativity, are those peoples whose cultural traditions accidentally or not accidentally contain elements of early development.
I don’t want to touch on the peoples - this is not the point: it is important that there are statistics that allow us to conclude that those peoples who begin to teach: 1) from the very conception, 2) during pregnancy and 3) babies from birth - those There are thousands of times more gifted and talented children among the peoples - because giftedness and talent are a derivative of early development. I found some conclusions on this topic on the page www.rebenokh1.narod.ru/statistic1.htm - read it, it is impossible to argue with numerous facts.
Early development is not a whim, it is perhaps the only means of survival in difficult conditions life.
2. The first stage of the movement for earlier development in our country began not with M. Ibuk, but with the NUVERS law, discovered thanks to the activities of Makarenko's teacher Nikitin Boris Pavlovich.
I found that in 1957 he was kicked out of the education system for trying to revive Makarenko's "self-sustaining schools" project, and in retaliation he created early development: he gave birth and raised seven children between 1957 and 1968, taught them and tempered them from the very beginning. birth.
When these children of Nikitin, aged 3 to 10, were tested by visiting English and Japanese, they were recognized as the smartest children on the planet (!).
In the article dedicated to memory great teacher www.larisa.h1.ru/novnikitinbp.htm
Masaru Ibuka, the president of SONY, personally invited Boris Nikitin to Japan and he gave a lecture there, spoke at SONY and on Japanese television. These facts are presented in the materials published here, on the site, in the year of its foundation, in "Publications" on the books of 1995 - 1996 "Reading before walking", "How to develop gifted children" and others.
It is better to read them yourself, and how far early development has advanced since the time of Masaru Ibuka.
3. By the way, VGIKA students who lived near the house of Boris Nikitin made a film about the upbringing and early development of Nikitin's children.
According to some information, some video materials about Nikitin and his system are provided to everyone by the Academy of Education, Social and Economic Development (Nikitin, Shatalov, Savenkov and others).
4. I remember exactly, I read somewhere - I can clarify - that the phrase "After three - it's too late!" - thought up in the 70s by Olga Gdaldyevna Sverdlova, editor of the Znanie publishing house, author (under a pseudonym) of successful and not very successful books such as: "Kremlin Children", "How a Child Cannot Get on the Panel", etc. - Masaru Ibuka called the book differently. In those days, development was previously prohibited.
5. Judging by Doman's books, this American doctor, long before Masaru Ibuka, stumbled upon an opportunity early learning.
By the way, in addition to the "samurai code", the Japanese have always preferred to build their system of education and training on borrowings: at the beginning of the 20th century, they invited Linus Pauling to participate in the development of the education system.
Write that Doman picked up " catchphrase" Masaru Ibuka is to disorientate parents, put them on their feet. And here's why.
6. Because the recommendations of Masaru Ibuka, although close in ideas to early development, are harmful and dangerous: "Masaru Ibuka heard the ringing, but does not know where he is?" This is convincingly written by the founder of the current stage of early development, Tyulenev, who put RR on a certain scientific basis and for the first time in the world showed reading babies on television in the late 90s and early 2000s in the programs "Read Before Walking".
What is the essence of Tyulenev's objections to Masaru Ibuka?
In early development, you need to go from simple to complex: one can say that the child must repeat the entire experience of human knowledge of music, albeit at an accelerated pace. Therefore, you can not immediately give the child indiscriminately the classics. The book "How to Develop Gifted Children" tells that children who were given to listen from birth classical music didn't want to play on musical instruments, for the simple reason that they were afraid to break the harmony, those high ideals and forms ... And without constant practice it is far impossible to advance in music. Etc. and so on. - Many nuances - you can read for yourself.
What to do with this article? I would ask the author on behalf of the parents - I hope many will support me: to rename the article "On how I did not understand and said goodbye to early development", or "I do not want to read, learn about real early development and say goodbye to it!" development!" - something like that, somehow differently, softer ...
Because I am sure that early development gave the children of this author a lot, if not all, and if the author is honest, he will write a refutation: "Forgive me, early development!"
:-)
Otherwise, I will probably be forced to write the remaining 145 objections that arose while reading this article.
:)
Although, of course, it's good that the author drew attention to earlier development - but not in the same, categorical, perspective! Understand, Mr. (Ms.) author: there are many defenders of early development - early development is omnipotent, because it is right! Therefore, it would be great for you to take the chance to show yourself more objective and supplement your article with honest facts from the life and success of your children.

This article is just an outright provocation. BUT - with pleasure I read the thread of discussions from the parents. Attention and time dedicated to the child is invaluable to him. Pushkin's fairy tales are also an early development, and reading books on the couch too. Mutual interest and harmony - that's the main thing.

For example, diseases of the kidneys and liver. Systemic drugs are often contraindicated in children, in addition, they have serious limitations in the simultaneous use with some other drugs. For example, Lamisil is not combined with hormonal contraceptives. If you are breastfeeding a baby, you will have to wait a little while using these drugs. Pregnancy also means a ban on systemic antimycotics. Therefore, women of childbearing age taking them should use contraception throughout the course of treatment.

The same can be said about disorders in the endocrine system. Diabetes- a good reason to vigilantly monitor the condition of your nails, because in such cases, fungus damage can be especially severe.

What do medical terms used during childbirth mean?

fresh photo for starters))) Two flowers - two pots Further fun. Yesterday we went to pick up Vaska from the extension. We followed him into class. While this melter was picking and gathering at his distant desk, two boys began to giggle and poke their fingers at Ksenia ... Here my beauty makes her hands like a machine gun in her hands (like boys play war games for fun) and gives out "dy-dy-dy- dy". Then, with a sly expression, he brings his hands to his ears, spreads his fingers "a la Cheburashka" and shows them his tongue ...

Hello everybody! Daughter is 4.5 years old. She obviously does not belong to the complaisant (from birth, this is clearly visible), there are few prohibitions (mostly everything is based on trust and understanding), but if I forbid something, then she knows that this is serious and does not argue. The problem actually is that in recent times the child in a rage began to dissolve his hands. We don’t beat her (well, maybe a couple of times in her life), no one fights in the family either. What to do? Crisis 5 years? Grandma especially gets it when I'm not at home. How...

Discussion

you need to teach your child to express their dissatisfaction in a more acceptable way for you. The phrase "I don't need you, go away" sounds somehow grown-up, where does the child get it from?

With hands - very tough, I would arrange a complete ignore to a serious apology and remorse. That is, the shocked grandmother goes to another room and does not react at all to the child - I have nothing to do with you. the same, if not enough, my mother can do with an explanation in the evening - I don’t communicate with someone who beats an elderly person - I’m disgusted.
About "Go away" and how should she say in your opinion? Teach your child to express their anger in a civilized way. Everyone has their own definition of "civilized". But it is important to recognize that the child has the right to be indignant, this is normal, but he does not have the right to hit and insult others, but instead, you can express your feelings like this. Including instead of a grandmother to beat sofa cushions, for example.

The husband often comes home from work very late (in the morning, on the contrary, he can only go to work at 11 in the morning, or comes home for a couple of hours in the afternoon). On the contrary, I get up early - at 6.30. Often I wait for my husband, but sometimes after 10-11 pm I feel terribly hungry to sleep. But I cannot go to bed until I know that my husband is already driving up to the house. Or even if I pass out while I put the child to bed, I still wake up at twelve o'clock in order to check if my missus is here. I don't suffer from insomnia though. It's worrisome...

Discussion

Oh, just the same! And I’m not worried because of “I’ll fall asleep - but in the morning he’s gone,” but about where he is now and in what condition, because since he doesn’t drink much, he can drink in the company and also stop perceiving time at all! Well, he seems to always call himself, but I know that if he is in a company, then "I'm leaving right now" does not mean "I'm leaving" at all, and it certainly does not mean that "right now" :))) And when you start calling yourself every hour, it’s somehow the most embarrassing that you treat a person%) .... And I almost never fall asleep at all, if the whole house hasn’t settled down, I’m generally the last damn thing - my husband is already in bed, the child falls asleep with him, and I’m still walking with the dog, feeding the dog, preparing a bottle for the child in the morning, calmly drinking tea and sleeping myself, so that no one walks already, doesn’t slam the doors, etc. In general, I have such a “waiting” quirk, I can’t sleep when someone is awake, because I subconsciously expect that (if the husband is sitting quietly at the computer) he will go to smoke right now, respectively, will slam the door twice, then he will go to the kitchen for something then to eat, then to the toilet, etc. :))) Until he lies down in bed, my brain cannot turn off :))))))

I remember the idea of ​​a "good" way out of a similar situation, I haven't tried it myself (yet ;-). It is aimed at relieving tension in both the child and the parent. Taken from Kozlov (I just don't remember which book, most likely from "Fairy Tales"). Dad in a similar situation (the child cursed, it was unpleasant for parents, I want to do something energetically) got together with his son on a "campaign" - to get rid of words. Naturally, we packed our backpacks, got dressed, and went. They walked for a long time, came to the shore of the lake, where they shouted all the words that were unpleasant for dad's (!) Hearing into the blue distance. Hyperventilation relieves many body tensions purely physically :-)
There was another moment - psychological. Dad said to the child, "Well, shout." And the child asked, "WHAT to shout?"
Those. clearly - the criterion of "trouble" - in the head of the listener, especially if the source does not realize WHAT exactly he is saying. Sort of like "dad, formulate your list of unpleasant words, and I'll take a look"

I treat Kozlov with some suspicion, so I just don’t take him into service, but I take him into account :-)


Scapegoat
The history of this expression is as follows: the ancient Jews had a rite of absolution. The priest laid both hands on the head of a live goat, thereby, as it were, shifting the sins of the whole people onto him. After that, the goat was driven out into the wilderness. Many, many years have passed, and the rite no longer exists, but the expression lives on ...


Tryn-grass
The mysterious "tryn-grass" is not at all some kind of herbal drug that is drunk so as not to worry. At first it was called "tyn-grass", and tyn is a fence. The result was “fence grass”, that is, a weed that no one needed, indifferent to everyone.

Master sour cabbage soup
Sour cabbage soup - simple peasant food: some water, yes sauerkraut. It wasn't hard to prepare them. And if someone was called a master of sour cabbage soup, it meant that he was not good for anything worthwhile.

put a pig
In all likelihood, this expression is due to the fact that some peoples do not eat pork for religious reasons. And if such a person was imperceptibly put pork meat in his food, then his faith was defiled by this.

Pour in the first number
Believe it or not, but... from the old school, where students were flogged every week, regardless of who is right, who is wrong. And if the mentor overdoes it, then such a spanking was enough for a long time, until the first day of the next month.

Register Izhitsa
Izhitsa is the name of the last letter of the Church Slavonic alphabet. Traces of flogging on famous places negligent students strongly looked like this letter. So to prescribe Izhitsu - teach a lesson, punish, it's easier to flog. And you still scold modern school!

Goal like a falcon
Terribly poor, beggar. Usually they think that we are talking about a bird. But the falcon has nothing to do with it. In fact, the “falcon” is an old military wall-beating weapon. It was a completely smooth ("bare") cast-iron blank, fixed on chains. Nothing extra!

Orphan Kazan
So they say about a person who pretends to be unhappy, offended, helpless in order to pity someone. But why is the orphan "Kazan"? It turns out that this phraseological unit arose after the conquest of Kazan by Ivan the Terrible. Mirzas (Tatar princes), being subjects of the Russian Tsar, tried to beg him for all sorts of indulgences, complaining about their orphanhood and bitter fate.

unlucky person
In the old days in Rus', "the way" was called not only the road, but also various positions at the prince's court. The falconer's path is in charge of princely hunting, the trapping path is dog hunting, the equerry's path is carriages and horses. The boyars, by hook or by crook, tried to get a way from the prince - a position. And those who did not succeed, spoke of those with disdain: an unlucky person.

Inside out
Now it seems to be quite a harmless expression. And once it was associated with a shameful punishment. During the time of Ivan the Terrible, a guilty boyar was put back to front on a horse in clothes turned inside out and in this form, disgraced, was driven around the city to the whistle and ridicule of the street crowd.

Retired goat drummer
In the old days, trained bears were taken to fairs. They were accompanied by a dancer boy dressed up as a goat, and a drummer accompanying his dance. This was the goat drummer. He was perceived as a worthless, frivolous person.

lead by the nose
It can be seen that trained bears were very popular, because this expression was associated with fairground entertainment. The gypsies led the bears by wearing a nose ring. And they forced them, the poor fellows, to do various tricks, deceiving them with the promise of handouts.

Sharpen laces
Lyasy (balusters) are chiseled curly columns of railings at the porch. Only a real master could make such beauty. Probably, at first, “sharpening balusters” meant having an elegant, bizarre, ornate (like balusters) conversation. But craftsmen to conduct such a conversation by our time became less and less. So this expression began to denote empty chatter.

Nick down
In this expression, the word "nose" has nothing to do with the organ of smell. "Nose" was called a commemorative plaque, or a tag for records. In the distant past, illiterate people always carried with them such boards and sticks, with the help of which all kinds of notes or notches were made as a keepsake.

Break a leg
This expression arose among hunters and was based on the superstitious idea that with a direct wish (both down and feather), the results of the hunt can be jinxed. Feather in the language of hunters means a bird, fluff - animals. In ancient times, a hunter going fishing received this parting word, the “translation” of which looks something like this: “Let your arrows fly past the target, let the snares and traps you set remain empty, just like the hunting pit!” To which the miner, in order not to jinx it, also replied: “To hell!”. And both were sure that the evil spirits, invisibly present at this dialogue, would be satisfied and leave behind, would not plot during the hunt.

Beat the thumbs
What are "backcloths", who and when "beats" them? For a long time handicraftsmen have been making spoons, cups and other utensils from wood. To cut a spoon, it was necessary to chip off a chock - a baklusha - from a log. Apprentices were entrusted with preparing buckwheat: it was an easy, trifling matter that did not require special skills. Cooking such chocks was called “beating bucks”. From here, from the mockery of the masters over the auxiliary workers - "bucketers", our saying went.

After the rain on Thursday
Rusichi - ancient ancestors Russians - honored among their gods the main god - the god of thunder and lightning Perun. One of the days of the week, Thursday, was dedicated to him (it is interesting that among the ancient Romans, Thursday was also dedicated to the Latin Perun - Jupiter). Perun offered prayers for rain in a drought. It was believed that he should be especially willing to fulfill requests on "his day" - Thursday. And since these prayers often remained in vain, the saying “After the rain on Thursday” began to apply to everything that is not known when it will be fulfilled.

Get into a loop
In dialects, binding is a fish trap woven from branches. And, as in any trap, being in it is an unpleasant business. Beluga roar

Beluga roar
Mute like a fish - you have known this for a long time. And suddenly roar beluga? It turns out that we are not talking about a beluga here, but a beluga whale, as the polar dolphin is called. Here he is really roaring very loudly.

smoke rocker
In old Rus', the huts were often heated in black: the smoke did not escape through the chimney (it did not exist at all), but through a special window or door. And the shape of the smoke predicted the weather. There is a column of smoke - it will be clear, dragged - to fog, rain, rocker - to the wind, bad weather, and even a storm.

Out of court
This is a very old sign: both in the house and in the courtyard (in the yard), only the animal that the brownie likes will live. And if you don't like it, you'll get sick, get sick, or run away. What to do - not to the court!

Hair on end
But what kind of rack is this? It turns out that to stand on end is to stand at attention, on your fingertips. That is, when a person is frightened, his hair stands on tiptoe on his head.

Throw on the rampage
Rozhon is a sharp pole. And in some Russian provinces, the four-pronged pitchfork was called that. Indeed, you don’t really trample on them!

upside down
Tormashit - in many Russian provinces this word meant to walk. So, upside down - it's just walkers upside down, upside down.

Grated roll
By the way, in fact there was such a kind of bread - grated kalach. The dough for him was kneaded, kneaded, rubbed for a very long time, which is why the kalach turned out to be unusually magnificent. And there was also a proverb - do not grate, do not mint, there will be no kalach. That is, a person is taught by trials and tribulations. The expression came from a proverb, and not from the name of bread.

Output to clean water
Once they said to bring the fish to clean water. And if the fish, then everything is clear: in the thickets of reeds or where snags drown in the silt, a fish caught on a hook can easily cut off the line and leave. And in clear water, above a clean bottom - let him try. So is an exposed swindler: if all the circumstances are clear, he cannot escape retribution.

And there is a hole in the old woman
And what kind of hole (mistake, oversight by Ozhegov and Efremova) is this, a hole (i.e. flaw, defect) or what? The meaning, therefore, is this: And a wise person can make mistakes. Interpretation from the mouth of a connoisseur ancient Russian literature: And on the old woman there is a ruin Poruha (Ukrainian f. colloquial-decreased. 1 - Harm, destruction, damage; 2 - Trouble). In a specific sense, porukha (other Russian) is rape. Those. everything is possible.

Language will bring to Kyiv
In 999, a certain Kyivian Nikita Shchekomyaka got lost in the boundless, then Russian, steppe and ended up among the Polovtsians. When the Polovtsy asked him: Where are you from, Nikita? He replied that from the rich and beautiful city Kyiv, and so painted the wealth and beauty of his native city to the nomads, that the Polovtsian Khan Nunchak attached Nikita by the tongue to the tail of his horse, and the Polovtsians went to fight and rob Kyiv. So Nikita Shchekomyaka got home with the help of his tongue.

Balloons
1812. When the French burned Moscow and were left without food in Russia, they came to Russian villages and asked for Sherami food, like give me. So the Russians began to call them that. (one of the hypotheses).

bastard
This is an idiomatic word. There is such a river Voloch, when the fishermen sailed with their catch, they said ours from Volochi came. There are several more tomological meanings of this word. To drag - to collect, drag. It is from them that the word originated. But it has become abusive not long ago. This is the merit of 70 years in the CPSU.

Know all the ins and outs
The expression is associated with an old torture, in which the accused were driven under the nails with needles or nails, seeking a confession.

This expression, as a designation of a rare person, sharply different from the rest, is given in the 7th satire of the Roman poet Juvenal (mid-1st century - after 127 AD): Fate gives kingdoms to slaves, delivers triumphs to captives. However, such a lucky man is less likely to be a white crow.

We often use catchphrases, the meaning of which seems obvious to us, but it is not at all clear where they came from. Let's try to deal with those of them that mention animals.

Eat clear!

What does it mean: clear even to a poorly educated, ignorant person.

Where do legs grow from? Vladimir Mayakovsky in The Tale of Petya, the fat child, and Sim, who is thin, writes: “It’s clear even a hedgehog - / This Petya was a bourgeois.” Why is the hedgehog here? And here's what. "Hedgehogs" in the USSR were called pupils of boarding schools for gifted children. But not all, but those who studied in classes E and F. The fact is that, unlike classes A, B, C, D, E, where the guys gnawed at the granite of science for two years, they studied in E and F for a year and, Naturally, they managed to get through less. But if the “hedgehogs” could figure out what it was about, it was easy for the rest.

Beluga roar

What does: to shout loudly, to cry.

Where do legs grow from? we are talking not about the beluga, but the beluga whale - this is the name of the polar dolphin. He really roars very loudly.

Spreading thought along the tree

What does it mean: go into unnecessary details.

Where do legs grow from? There seems to be no animal in this proverb. But initially it was there. In the "Lay of Igor's Campaign" there are lines: "Boyan the prophetic, if someone wanted to compose a song, his mind spread over the tree, gray wolf on the ground, like a gray eagle under the clouds. In Old Russian "mys" is a squirrel. But the translator from Old Church Slavonic mixed up the words a little.

Ate the dog

What does it mean: got a hand in something, became a master.

Where do legs grow from? the expression came from the proverb "he ate the dog, and choked on his tail." So they said about a man who almost coped with a difficult task, but stumbled over nonsense. Only the first part of the proverb remained in use, completely changing its meaning.

Lying like a gray gelding

What does it mean: speaks nonsense without blinking an eye.

Where do legs grow from? in the 19th century, the German von Sievers-Mehring was in one of the regiments of the Russian army. He liked to tell his colleagues all sorts of fables. The expression "lies like Sievers-Mering" began to be used throughout Russia, completely forgetting about its origin.

Now the bird will fly

What does it mean: the photographer is about to click the shutter.

Where do legs grow from? the bird, which the photographers reported, really was, but not alive, but brass. Previously, to get a good picture, people had to freeze in one position for a few seconds. To attract the attention of little fidgets, the photographer's assistant at the right time raised a shiny bird, which also knew how to make trills.

Back to our sheep

What does it mean: do not deviate from the main topic.

Where do legs grow from? In a medieval French comedy, a wealthy clothier sues a shepherd who stole his sheep. During the meeting, the clothier forgets about the shepherd and showers reproaches on his lawyer, who did not pay him for six cubits of cloth. The judge interrupts the speech with the words: "Let's return to our sheep", which have become winged.

Goal like a falcon

What does it mean: poor man, unmercenary.

Where do legs grow from? the falcon (with emphasis on the second syllable) in this case is not a bird, but an ancient wall-beating weapon that was used during the siege of fortresses. It was smoothly hewn wood or cast iron, without protruding parts, which is why it was called naked.

newspaper duck

What does it mean: deliberate lie.

Where do legs grow from? according to one version, the expression originated in Germany in late XVII century, where under newspaper articles that set out sensational but doubtful information, they put N. T. - initial letters Latin words Non Testatur, which means "not tested". This abbreviation is read "en-te". And in German "ente" (Ente) - duck.

Retired goat drummer

What does it mean: a person who is out of work.

Where do legs grow from? in the old days, trained bears were taken to fairs. They were accompanied by a dancer boy dressed up as a goat, and a drummer accompanying his dance. This was the "goat drummer". To be in the position of a “retired drummer with a goat”, that is, to lose this job, was really sad.

Disservice

What does it mean: unnecessary help that harms the cause.

Where do legs grow from? phraseologism refers us to the fable of I. A. Krylov "The Hermit and the Bear". Once the hermit lay down to sleep, and the bear drove flies away from him. He brushed the insect from his cheek, she sat on his nose, then on his forehead. The bear took a heavy cobblestone and killed a fly on his friend's forehead with it.

shot sparrow

What does it mean: a man who has seen a lot, who is not so easy to deceive.

Where do legs grow from? this is part of the proverb "You can't fool an old (shot) sparrow on chaff." Chaff - the remains of ears, which are obtained by threshing rye, wheat, flax and other crops. And although empty ears look like full ones, the old sparrow will never make a mistake, but will look for stacks that have not yet been threshed. The word "old" can be replaced by the word "shot" - the one that the peasants shot more than once, scaring them away from the crops.

By the way

The expression "where the legs grow from" came from thieves' jargon. The criminals, having stolen something, tried to get away, assuring that the stolen disappeared without their participation - “left with their feet” no one knows where.

Why do they say “small spool, but expensive” and what is this spool anyway? It turns out that this is a measure of weight. One spool equals approximately 4 g (4.266 g). The concept of "spool" was also used to refer to the purity of gold.

10th place: Bashi-bazouks (from Turk. bash - head, buzuk, bozuk - spoiled, rabid) - soldiers of irregular formations of the Turkish cavalry in the 18th-19th centuries. Detachments of bashi-bazouks in peacetime were used as internal paramilitary guards in remote areas of the Ottoman Empire.
