Griboyedov A.S.

Phraseologism: Sergeant major in Voltaire to give.

Meaning: The phrase is a synonym for obscurantism, the desire to instill the spirit of the barracks and unreasoning obedience in everything.

Origin: From the play "Woe from Wit" (1824) by A. S. Griboyedov (1795-1829). Skalozub's words (act. 2, yavl. 5): "I am a prince - to Grigory and to you // I will give you a sergeant major in Voltaire, // He will build you in three lines, // If you make a peep, he will calm you down in an instant."

Random phraseology:

Golden Taurus.

Meaning:

A symbol of wealth, the power of gold, the power of money. Hence the expressions "worship of the golden calf", "dance around the golden calf", etc.

Origin:

From the Bible. In the Old Testament, in the Second Book of Moses (Exodus, 32), it is told about how the Jews, returning to their homeland from Egyptian captivity, wandered in the desert for a long time and completely lost faith in the imminent cessation of their wanderings. Then the clergyman Aaron ordered to collect all the gold jewelry that the Jews had, melt them down and make a golden statue of a calf (bull). The Jews began to worship this calf and make sacrifices to it in the hope of returning home: "And they said: Behold your God, Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt!" (32:4). But the prophet Moses stopped this idolatry.
