dance from the stove

Sleptsov V.A.

Phraseologism: Dance from the stove.

Meaning: To do something, starting from the usual place, from the beginning.

Origin: It is believed that the turn to dance from the stove came into the Russian literary language from the unfinished novel of the raznochinets writer V. A. Sleptsov "The Good Man" (1871). The hero of the novel, Terebenev, returns to his homeland after fruitless wanderings around Europe. He dreams of serving the people and remembers the pictures of his childhood, in particular, how he was taught to dance. When he lost time, he was forced to return to the stove again and start all over again. Remembering the scene at the stove, Terebenev understands that he needs to return to his home, to the old tiled stove, and start a new life there. However, according to other linguists, despite the fact that the expression to dance from the stove became widespread thanks to the novel "The Good Man", V. A. Sleptsov cannot be considered the author of the turnover. The custom to learn to dance from the stove was well spread in Russia of the last century in noble families. Thanks to the popularity of this custom, the expression to dance from the stove in a figurative sense also came into use. At the beginning of the XX century. the variant of the turnover was also known to dance not from the stove - “to do something out of habit”, “to find it difficult doing something for the first time”.

Random phraseology:

Who organized the rise?

Meaning:

A protest against unnecessary, annoying honors - with a feigned threat against the one who arranged them (jokingly-iron.).

Origin:

It is attributed to I. V. Stalin (1878-1953), who allegedly said this phrase (spring, 1946), having learned that at one of the literary evenings in Moscow, the audience stood up and, standing up, greeted the disgraced poetess Anna Akhmatova with applause.

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 ... >>

Bushman computer 14.07.2002

For the census of the fauna of the Karoo National Park in the Kalahari, the Bushmen were given pocket computers. Hunters, going to the savannah, take with them, in addition to the bow and arrows, a small device on which they record every encounter with animals.

Using the keys with the silhouettes of 60 species of animals drawn on them, the hunters record in the electronic memory the type of animal, the number of individuals, their sex and age, and the direction of the movement of the herd. If traces of animals are found, they are also recorded. The satellite navigation signal receiver built into the computer notes the exact coordinates of the place where the meeting took place.

From time to time, biologists rewrite the accumulated information into a common database. This method of counting fauna is more accurate and cheaper than aerial observations.
