Rip and throw

Sumarokov A.P.

Phraseologism: Rip and throw.

Meaning: To be indignant, to be indignant, to rage (colloquial).

Origin: Options for the origin of the expression. 1. The expression penetrated into the Russian literary language from the dialect of gamblers. Initially, it characterized the excitement of a banker, who continually tore, that is, printed out new decks and metal cards. 2. From the poem "Cupid, devoid of sight" by the poet Alexander Petrovich Sumarokov (1717-1777): "He tears // And mosques, // Rats up those who come across to him, // Like quails gyrfalcon."

Random phraseology:

Attic salt.

Meaning:

Refined wit, elegant joke.

Origin:

The expression goes back to Mark Tullius Cicero. Popularizing Greek culture in Rome, Cicero gave a significant place in his writings to the theory of oratory, carefully developed by the Greeks. He especially singled out the inhabitants of Attica, famous for their eloquence. In 61 BC. e. Cicero, thanking for the letters of his correspondent, the writer Titus Pomponius Atticus, wrote: "All of them were not only sprinkled with salt of wit, as the students of orators say, but also remarkable in the manifestations of your friendship." Letters of Mark Tullius Cicero to Attica, relatives, brother Quintus, M. Brutus, I, years 69-51, translation and comments by V. O. Gorenstein, M.-L. 1949, p. 51.) In 55 BC. e. Cicero wrote the essay "On the Orator", in the form of a literary conversation of several persons, from which he excluded himself. In the 54th chapter of Book II of this essay, the question of the place of a joke in oratory, of the means to achieve a comic effect in speech, is considered. Julius Caesar, an imaginary participant in the conversation, is left, as a recognized master of jokes, to express his opinion. Paying tribute to the gift of the Greeks in this area, Caesar, expressing the views of Cicero, assigns the first place to the inhabitants of Attica, who are fluent in a sharp word, adding that "some jokers give an interpretation that is not devoid of wit to the following place of Ennius:" coal than to keep a good word to yourself" [an untranslatable pun: the poet Ennius "bona dicta" has wise, instructive words, here "bona dicta" - witticisms]. Of course, a good word in their sense is a word that has salt " . It remains to add that in Attica, as in other parts of Greece that had access to the sea, salt was not mined from salt mines, but by evaporation in the sun or by boiling sea water, which is why Attic salt was especially fine "(Pliny, Natural History, 31, 7, 39).

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. ... >>

NXP Powerful New MOSFETs 12.02.2012

At the 2012 APEC (Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition) conference and exhibition held this week in Orlando, Florida, NXP Semiconductors showcased high-power MOSFETs that can be used with GreenChip power controller chips to create compact power supplies, network adapters and chargers.

The use of LFPAK-type cases, which provide efficient heat dissipation even with reduced dimensions, made it possible to reduce the size of transistors. According to the manufacturer, the novelties meet the requirements of the AEC-Q101 specification for automotive electronics. The LFPAK copper brace design improves reliability, reduces electrical and thermal resistance, and simplifies installation.

The transistors are designed for voltages up to 200 V. Along with LFPAK, they are available in TO220, I2PAK and D2PAK packages.
