Roaring beluga

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: Beluga roar.

Meaning: Loudly, uncontrollably and for a long time to cry, sob.

Origin: Phraseologism is a reworking of the phrase "to roar like a beluga whale", in which a beluga whale is a polar dolphin capable of roaring. However, there is no evidence that the word beluga was ever used in this expression. In Russian they spoke and say only "roar beluga". The fact is that for a long time in Russian the word beluga meant both a large fish from the sturgeon breed and a polar dolphin. In the "Dictionary of the Regional Arkhangelsk Dialect" published in 1885, the sea animal, the polar dolphin, is called both the beluga and the white whale. At the same time, the word beluga is in the first place. Hence the beluga roar (i.e., like a dolphin). However, the word beluga whale entered the literary language, and now this is the only name for the polar dolphin. Beluga is now called only fish, which, of course, has nothing to do with the emergence of phraseology.

Random phraseology:

More than aspirations.

Meaning:

More (stronger) than expected or wanted, beyond expectation, unexpectedly (obsolete).

Origin:

The word more is a form of comparative degree from the common Slavic pak "again, back, yet", the adverb more means "beyond something", aspiration - from the Old Russian verb chayati "wait". In the old days, in lively colloquial speech, the adjective "unexpected" (patch-tea guest) was used.

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 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.
