Origin: A pip is a small, horny bump on the tip of a bird's tongue that helps them peck at food. The growth of such a tubercle can be a sign of illness. Hard pimples on the human tongue are called pips by analogy with these bird bumps. According to superstitious ideas, a pip usually appears in deceitful people. Hence the unkind wish, which was included in the healer formulas-spells.

From Latin: Suum cuique. From the writings ("On Laws", "On Duties", "On the Nature of the Gods", "On the Limits of Good and Evil") by the Roman statesman, writer and orator Cicero (Mark Tullius Cicero, 106-43 BC). In the original: "Justice is recognized by the fact that it awards to each his own." Later, the expression began to be used outside the legal context. In recent history, the phrase has become infamous as the inscription made by the German Nazis over the entrance to the Buchenwald concentration camp - "Jedem das Seine".
