Have the pip

French
French

Phraseologism: Have the pip.

Meaning: 1. Be in a bad, depressed mood, 2. feel awkward, being in an unusual environment, feel constrained, insecure.

Origin: Tracing paper from the French language, which seems to be erroneous (Pushkin already considered it so): in the French turnover, the word assiette is used, which has several meanings: a) "landing, body position when riding" and b) "plate". Thus, the original meaning of this expression is "to lose stability, balance."

Random phraseology:

Shemyakin Court.

Meaning:

Wrong, unfair court, a parody of the trial (iron., contempt.).

Origin:

The name of an old Russian satirical story that denounced the arbitrariness and selfishness of the feudal court. Shemyaka is a real historical person, the Galician prince Dimitry Shemyaka (d. 1453), notorious for his cruelty, deceit and unrighteous deeds. In the struggle for the Moscow throne, he defeated for some time his rival, the Moscow prince Vasily, and blinded him. Subsequently, the Moscow prince received the nickname Vasily the Dark (that is, blind), under which he went down in history.

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.

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.
