How to drink to give

Lazhechnikov I.I.

Phraseologism: How to drink to give.

Meaning: Definitely, definitely.

Origin: The expression initially made sense: as soon as a person drinks what they offer him, he will immediately die, as soon as they give him a drink, he will die right there (we are talking about poison). For example, the writer Ivan Lazhechnikov (1792-1869) in the novel "Basurman" (1838) says: "Does any of your servants heal? God forbid! sent to the next world. Yes, and the boy of the baron, the servant whom he loved like a son, only kissed the dead man's lips to say goodbye to him ... immediately breathed his last. So strong was the potion that Anton gave to the dead." The writer Pavel Melnikov-Pechersky (1818-1883) also uses this expression in the same sense: "Here, after all, the people are from oh-oh! - Unprecedented, at least take you for example, they will braid you, they will give you a drink - you won’t have time to blink" ("In forests"). In modern speech, the expression has lost its original gloomy meaning and is used only in the meaning - for sure, for sure, by all means, etc.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Random news from the Archive The new alloy is not worse than titanium, but cheaper 15.02.2015 Scientists from the Pohang University of Science and Technology (South Korea) have created a new alloy of iron, aluminum and nickel. Lightweight but durable materials are extremely in demand and are actively used in the aviation and automotive industries. South Korean scientists have managed to develop a material that is not inferior in its properties to titanium or carbon fiber, but is 10 times cheaper. The key point here is the use of so-called intermetallic compounds - chemical compounds of several metals with a fixed number of atoms from each of them. From nickel and aluminum, it was possible to obtain an intermetallic compound with an equal number of atoms from both metals. Such crystals are only a couple of nanometers thick and effectively penetrate the steel structure, giving it the strength of titanium. The developers are confident that in the near future their alloy will be used in mass production - for example, in the automotive industry.
