Shchi and porridge

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: Shchi and porridge.

Meaning: The ancient names of Russian hot dishes, which have long been common among the people and have become a kind of symbol of Russian cuisine.

Origin: Shchi is a hot first course. Porridge was called not only folk food, but also a feast. In one of the Russian chronicles about Alexander Nevsky it is written: “Prince Oleksandr got married, getting married in Toroptsi: repair that porridge” (i.e., he arranged a wedding feast here). Artel on the Don was also called porridge. Dahl gives an example: "We are in the same mess" and interprets the word classmate as "one-armer". Subsequently, the meaning of the word has changed, in modern vernacular it means "comrade in study, in joint education."

Random phraseology:

We are Kalutsky, it will not reach us.

Meaning:

We live far from the front (in Kaluga, Tambov, etc. provinces), the enemy (war) will not reach us, therefore, this war does not concern us.

Origin:

A phrase popular in Russia at the beginning of the 1th century as an analogue of the well-known European expression, the patriotism of the bell tower. The phrase is a symbol of "parochial patriotism", an undeveloped civic feeling (iron.). General A. I. Denikin about the Russian army during the First World War ("Essays on Russian Troubles", vol. I, ch. XNUMX): "The armed people", which was, in essence, the army, inspired by victory, lost heart in defeat, poorly understood the need to cross the Carpathians. A little more - the struggle in Styr and Pripyat, but still comforted himself with the hope: "We are Tambov, the German will not reach us ..." I have to repeat this rather hackneyed phrase, because it contains the deep psychology of a Russian person.

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. ... >>
