What kind of stop is this, Bologoe or Popovka?

Marshak S.Ya.

Phraseologism: What kind of stop is this, Bologoe or Popovka?

Meaning: Used as a playful form of asking about the location of the speaker when driving, traveling, etc.

Origin: From the poem "That's how absent-minded ..." (1928) by Samuil Yakovlevich Marshak (1887-1964): "What kind of stop is this, // Bologoe or Popovka? // And from the platform they say: - // This is the city of Leningrad."

Random phraseology:

Break a leg.

Meaning:

Good luck in anything.

Origin:

Initially, the expression was used as a "spell" designed to deceive evil spirits (this expression was admonished to those who went hunting, it was believed that a direct wish for good luck could "jinx" the prey). The answer is "To hell!" was supposed to further secure the hunter. To hell - this is not a curse like "Go to hell!", But a request to go to hell and tell him about it (so that the hunter does not get any fluff or feathers). Then the unclean will do the opposite, and it will be what is needed: the hunter will return "with down and feather", that is, with prey.

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. ... >>
