Stigma in fluff (into the cannon)

Krylov I.A.

Phraseologism: Stigma in fluff (into the cannon).

Meaning: About who is involved in an unseemly act, action, event (disapproved).

Origin: An expression from I. A. Krylov's fable "The Fox and the Groundhog" (1813), where the Fox complains to the Groundhog about injustice: she was allegedly slandered that she took bribes and therefore was expelled from the chicken coop. She assures him that she didn’t take any bribes, but honestly guarded the chickens entrusted to her: “Should I take bribes? Do I get mad! // Well, have you seen, I will refer to you, // So that I would be involved in this sin? / / Think, remember well. // - No, Kumushka, I often saw, // That your stigma is down in fluff.

Random phraseology:

The servant of two masters.

Meaning:

The expression is usually used to characterize double-dealing.

Origin:

The title of a comedy (1749) by the Italian playwright Carlo Golbonne (1707-1793). Sometimes there is another translation: "Servant of two masters." The hero of the comedy Truffaldino, wanting to earn more, serves two masters at the same time, hiding it from both of his masters. The original source is the Bible. So, in the Gospel of Matthew (6:24) it is said: "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be zealous for one and not take care of the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." The same is said in the Gospel of Luke (16:13): "No servant can serve two masters..."

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.

The existence of the ninth planet is proved 24.05.2018

Astronomers have discovered a strange celestial body, a dwarf planet with a very unusual orbit, which indicates that there is a large ninth planet in the outskirts of the solar system.

Astronomers have found a small cosmic body, and its orbit can only be explained by one fact: another, where a large planet is still hiding from our view, but affects the bodies around it.

Scientists have been suggesting for several years that another planet in our system is circling far from the Sun, and for the past few years they have been looking for it. It all started in 2016, when astronomers in a number of distant objects in the solar system revealed some strange pattern. All of them had a very interesting orbit, they rotated at an angle to all the other planets in the system.

Observations suggested that their orbits were affected by the gravity of another, much more massive body. Now another object with a strange orbit has been found. The orbit of 2015 BP519 is at an angle of 54 degrees compared to almost everything inside the solar system, and the most plausible explanation for this anomaly is the existence of the Ninth planet.

Of course, it is difficult to find it, since it is very far from us, much further than Pluto. And besides, she's dark. In addition, we don't know exactly where it might be. But if it really exists, then we will find it.
