a fool

Muscovy
Muscovy

Phraseologism: A fool.

Meaning: 1. An empty person, an eccentric who serves as a general laughing stock, 2. (simple) a swear word against someone, 3. a funny, ugly or old-fashioned dressed person.

Origin: Initially - "a scarecrow in a field sown with peas." Ceremonies were once associated with peas. During Christmas holidays, among the characters was a mummer, wrapped in pea straw. At the end of Maslenitsa, they carried a straw effigy of a pea jester. Buffoons also decorated themselves with pea straw.

Random phraseology:

Children, kitchen, church.

Meaning:

It is usually cited jokingly and ironically, as a reminder of such an understanding of the social role of women.

Origin:

From German: Kinder, Kuche, Kirche. A phrase that is erroneously attributed to the "Iron Chancellor" of Prussia and Germany, Otto Eduard Leopold Bismarck (1815-1898), the unifier of Germany, who allegedly, somewhat pejoratively, defined the destiny of a woman. They even talk about the "famous three" K "(initial letters of three words) of Bismarck" - Kinder, Kuche, Kirche. In fact, there are four of these "Ks", and the author of this phrase is not Bismarck, but the last German emperor and Prussian king (1888-1918) Wilhelm II Hohenzollern (1859-1941). It was he who so exhaustively determined the circle of the only worthy, in his opinion, occupations for a German woman - Kinder, Kuche, Kirche, Kleider (children, kitchen, church, outfits). The last "K" - Kleider (dresses, clothes) Emperor Wilhelm also considered very important for every woman.

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. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Laptops instead of seismographs 16.01.2009

Any modern laptop has a shock sensor, which, upon impact, instantly takes aside and presses the most vulnerable part of the computer - the magnetic head of the hard drive - to the soft pillow so that it does not get damaged, for example, when the laptop falls.

American seismologists have proposed using this ability of laptops to create a worldwide seismographic network. Laptops, scattered across all continents, are almost constantly connected to the Internet, and by installing a special program on a sufficiently large number of them, it is possible to record the shaking they experience around the world. A large number of laptops allow you to compare their readings and "subtract" random fluctuations, such as those that occur when using the keyboard or due to a heavy truck passing under the windows.

About 1500 laptop owners around the world are currently participating in the earthquake registration program. Information about the concussions of this network is instantly transmitted to the registration center located at Stanford University (USA). There, the data is processed, the source of the earthquake and its magnitude are determined.
