Simple as a moo

Mayakovsky V.V.

Phraseologism: Simple as a moo.

Meaning: About something primitive, extremely uncomplicated (jokingly ironic).

Origin: From the "Prologue" to the tragedy "Vladimir Mayakovsky" (1913) by Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky (1893-1930): "Come to me, everyone who tore the silence // Who howled because the loops of noon are tight, - // I will open to you with words simple as a bellow, Our new souls, buzzing like lampposts."

Random phraseology:

Crown with laurels.

Meaning:

To glorify someone, to honor someone (bookish, approved, high).

Origin:

The expression is associated with ancient mythology. The ancient Greeks had a myth about Daphne, whom Apollo turned into a laurel tree because she did not want to become his wife. Since then, this evergreen tree has become the tree of Apollo, the god of poetry and the arts. Laurel branches and laurel wreaths began to crown the winners, first in poetry and music, and then in sports or war. The word laureate means "crowned with laurels, recognized winner."

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.
