Deaf mass is not served twice

Blaise de Montluc

Phraseologism: Deaf mass is not served twice.

Meaning: Do not repeat something to someone who does not want to or cannot understand. It is also used as a jokingly ironic response to the request of an inattentive interlocutor to repeat what he listened to.

Origin: The likely source is the words of the French marshal, statesman and military writer Blaise de Montluc (1502-1577): "Mass for the deaf is not served twice."

Random phraseology:

Seriously and permanently.

Meaning:

Fundamentally, fundamentally, solidly.

Origin:

From the speech of the Soviet People's Commissar for Agriculture Valerian Valerianovich Osinsky (pseudonym V. V. Obolensky, 1887-1938) at the X Conference of the RCP (b) on May 26, 1921. This is how he defined the prospects for the new economic policy - NEP. The words and position of V.V. Osinsky are known only from the reviews of V.I. Lenin, who in his closing speech (May 27, 1921) said: “Osinsky gave three conclusions. The first conclusion is“ seriously and for a long time. ”And also: "seriously and for a long time - 25 years. I'm not such a pessimist." Later, speaking with a report "On the domestic and foreign policy of the republic." At the IX All-Russian Congress of Soviets, V. I. Lenin said about the New Economic Policy (December 23, 1921): correctly already noted, not forever.

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.

striped rabbit 03.02.2000

The jungles of Vietnam and Laos apparently hide many animal species unknown to science. Since the early 90s, a new species of rhino, a small deer and an animal that is a cross between an antelope and a goat have been discovered here. It was called "saola" - that's what local hunters call it.

And now a new species of rabbit has been discovered in Laos - the striped one. Back in 1995, scientists noticed three carcasses of unknown rabbits in a Lao market, but only last year an automatic camera trap installed in the Vietnamese Pu Mat reserve photographed such a rabbit alive.

The new rabbit is similar to the already known striped species from the island of Sumatra, but its DNA is different.
