Phraseology is a very interesting and fascinating section of the language. Getting acquainted with the origin of individual phraseological units, you are amazed at the wisdom of the people, the flexibility of their minds and imaginative thinking. Let's look at some examples of such collective creativity of the people.

Freeze

IN pre-revolutionary Russia taught Greek language. When teachers were dissatisfied with their students’ answers, they often uttered the word “moros,” which meant “stupidity” in Russian. This word came into use, transforming into “freeze” - “to say something stupid” (namely “to say”, not “to do”).

All over Ivanovskaya

At the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in Moscow in church holidays All its thirty bells rang, the ringing was heard throughout half of Moscow. “To all Ivanovskaya” began to mean “to call (shout, make noise) very loudly, at the top of your lungs.”

Getting into trouble

In a carding machine there is a hole - a drum with teeth. The wool carders, being careless, could get their hand into a hole, and this was an extremely unpleasant sensation, and they could even lose their hand. “To get into trouble” has changed over time not only in spelling (the noun with a preposition was transformed into the derived adverb “to get into trouble” and began to be written together with the prefix), but also acquired a somewhat softened, not so harsh meaning: “to get into trouble” now simply means “ to get into an awkward position” rather than to get into trouble.

Where do crayfish spend the winter?

Of the several versions about the origin of this phraseological unit, the most reliable seems to be that especially guilty people were sent to get delicious crayfish in winter, since there was a high probability of getting pneumonia. “Showing where crayfish spend the winter” meant forcing them to climb into a winter pond. At the same time, the person did not have the opportunity to make an excuse, saying that he searched, but did not find such places.

Goal like a falcon

This phraseological unit puzzles many: why is the “falcon naked” plucked, or what? And the answer is simple: the “falcon” here is not a bird at all, but a smoothly trimmed log, a battering weapon. There were no knots, jagged edges or bumps allowed on it - in the heat of battle, warriors could have injured their hands.

The reinterpretation of the expression is such that it denotes the poverty of someone, the lack of even the necessary.

Long box

Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, wanting to be known as kind and sympathetic, started a special long-shaped box for petitions (petitions) at the facade of the palace in Kolomenskoye so that petitioners could drop their notes into it. The boyars were responsible for delivering petitions to the king. They not only delayed petitions, but often completely “lost” some if they contained complaints against themselves.
If the resolution of a case is delayed, they now say “the case has been shelved.”

Tobacco case

Phraseologism has the meaning of the threat of failure of some business. It goes back to the times of barge haulers in Rus'. The barge haulers tied a tobacco pouch around their necks so as not to get wet when they pulled the barge. If the water level near the river bank rose and reached the chest, alarming cries were heard: “Taba-a-ak!”

Laces (balusters) sharpen, baluster

Balusters, balusters, lathes - these are all the names of figured posts for stair railings, which were made on lathes. The work was not difficult, there was no need for a master special attention to fulfill it, so he could afford to work and joke and joke at the same time.
Therefore, the established expression “sharpen your laces, play around” came into use precisely as “jolly joke.”

Tuck it into your belt

In Rus', the belt was a mandatory item of clothing for both men and women. As for the working people, for them it was not only a tribute to fashion, but also the need to deftly handle a tool, temporarily unnecessary to tuck into their belt, so that at the right moment they could use it again, without wasting time searching.
Additionally, a disparaging meaning appeared in this expression when it began to be used in relation to those less dexterous and skillful in any matter, equating it with an unnecessary thing: “I’ll put you in your belt!”

Shabby look

At first glance, the meaning of this phraseological unit is directly related to the inevitable soiling of clothes during lunch (meal) - even very neat people have encountered this trouble at least once. But there is a completely different version associated with historical fact transfer of the weaving factory founded by Peter I to the merchant Zatrapeznikov. The factory produced cheap fabric for poor people and for household needs.
Later, the expression “He looks shabby” began to characterize unkempt people in wrinkled and unkempt clothes.

Kazan orphans

After the conquest of Kazan, Tsar Ivan the Terrible needed to gain the loyalty of the Tatars, and he spent a lot of money on appeasing them, generously gifting many of them. After this, some deprived people began to importunately demand rewards for themselves, pretending to be poor.
This gave rise to mockingly calling them “Kazan orphans,” which later “stuck” to all beggars.

You can’t lure with a roll

In Rus' until the 17th century. the main product for baking bread was Rye flour. Rye bread was eaten by both the poor and the rich. Wheat flour was used only for baking kalachi and Easter cakes for the holidays, which was available only to the rich; for the poor it was an inaccessible delicacy.
Don't give up decision taken even with generous promises, it means to be adamant, not to succumb to persuasion under any circumstances, even if they “lure you in with a roll.”

Gimp pull

In the old days, gold, silver and copper threads for embroidery were called gimp. They were made by hand back then. From the hot metal, threads were slowly and extremely carefully pulled out, which should have, as they solidified, same thickness and homogeneous structure. This could only be achieved by jewelry work at a slow pace.
Therefore, “gimp to pull”, “gimp” in an allegorical sense means “to hesitate”, “to procrastinate”. Probably, the idiom “pushing the tires” appeared in a similar way.

The thief's hat is on fire

This phraseological unit has its own background: an old joke. It talks about an incident at the bazaar when, wanting to find a thief, people turned to a healer for help. The healer suddenly shouted: “Look, the thief’s hat is on fire!” One of those present involuntarily grabbed his head. This gave him away. He was the thief.
The expression “The thief’s cap is on fire!” now denotes a person who, by a careless action or word, has betrayed his unseemly actions or intentions.

Slurping not salty

IN ancient Rus' salt was an expensive product; it was transported from afar and was valued very much, used carefully and sparingly. Food was salted directly at the table and often from the owner’s hand. And since “his own hand is the ruler,” the host generously salted the food of those guests who sat closer to him and were, of course, more noble. And to those who sat on far edge, sometimes there was no salt at all. And such a guest left, it turns out, “without a sip.”
Now this is what they say about an unsuccessful visit, where the guest was not given due attention and he did not achieve the desired result from his visit.

Not at ease

An example of how a phraseological unit can lead away from its meaning in a completely unexpected direction. This is a tracing paper with French, where n’est pas dans son assiette is translated as “to be in a bad mood, not in the mood.” But the word assiette also has a second meaning – “plate”. However, it doesn’t even occur to us to think about some kind of utensil when we use this expression. We understand perfectly well that we are talking about some kind of awkwardness or bad mood, as well as other inconveniences.

Make a fool of yourself

Characteristics The Russian people in past centuries were modest and shy. An uncovered head for both men and women was considered unacceptable liberty and disgrace, especially if a person’s hat or scarf was torn off “in peace.” Hence the negative meaning of the expression “goof” - “get into an awkward position”, “disgrace yourself”.

From board to board

Doing some kind of work from start to finish is the same as reading a book “from cover to cover,” that is, from cover to cover. And in ancient Rus', the first books, still handwritten, had not leather or cardboard, but wooden covers.
Hence “from board to board.”

Find out the lowdown

In the old days, cruel torture was used for interrogation in prisons. One of the most sophisticated was the one when nails were driven under the nails. Few people could withstand such torment and gave out what they wanted from them. In other words, the information seemed to be obtained “from under the fingernails,” that is, it was “the inside story,” and it was extracted from there.

From the red line

The first Russian books were written by hand, and the initial letters of sections were painted with ornaments in red paint, sometimes including other colors. Each new paragraph began with a red letter. This line became known as the “red line”. The phraseological unit means “to start something new”, “to start over”.

Lost your mind

The meaning of this idiom is associated with the name of the Greek mountain Pantelik. In the numerous caves and grottoes formed by the work of marble miners, it was sometimes possible to get lost. Therefore, this expression is used in the sense of “deviating from the intended course,” but not in a literal, but in a figurative sense, for example, “losing the thread of reasoning” and the like.

Miracles in a sieve

Initially the expression looked like amazing phenomenon: “Miracles: there are many holes in the sieve, but nowhere to get out.” Then it surprisingly shortened and acquired an ironic meaning: “Well, what miracles can there be in a sieve? Should you try carrying water?”

Walk trump

The advantage that comes to mind is card game. But no! The point is the boyar collar, which they sewed onto their festive caftan to distinguish themselves from the common people. Such gates were embroidered with pearls, gold and silver, stuck up impressively, giving importance to the person, making her posture proud, and were called “trump cards”. Hence, “to trump” means to “put on airs,” and “to trump” means to brag about something.

Bread and salt have long been combined together in Russian speech, which is reflected in the proverb: “Without salt it is not tasty, and without bread it is not satisfying.” And the very expression “bread and salt” at first simply meant food, food, and later - a treat. This ancient custom has been preserved since time immemorial. IN traditional culture, from which we stem, which we continue so sluggishly and uncertainly, bread as a blessing, as an oath, was at the head of everything: if you don’t take the bread off the table and sweep away the crumbs, your home will have prosperity and completeness.

By breaking the bread and dipping it in salt, the guest establishes a special trusting relationship with the hosts and admits the purity of his intentions and thoughts. The duet of bread and salt is not accidental: a wheat or rye fragrant loaf symbolized prosperity and prosperity, and salt, a rare spice in those days, was credited with the ability to protect against evil spirits. When inviting you to a feast, in Rus' they said: “Come in for bread and salt.”

If guests were received in the house, the meal began and followed a certain scenario.

The table, as usual laden with dishes, was located in the “red corner” next to the benches. There was a belief that those sitting on these benches enjoyed the special protection of saints.

According to tradition, at the beginning of the meal, the mistress of the house appeared, dressed in her best outfit. She greeted the guests with a bow to the ground. The guests bowed in response and, at the owner’s suggestion, came up to kiss her. According to long-established custom, each guest was given a glass of vodka.

After the “kissing ritual,” the hostess went to a special women’s table, which served as a signal for the start of the meal. The host cut off a piece of bread for each guest and sprinkled it with salt.

Treating the guest with bread and salt established a friendly, trusting relationship between the guest and the host; refusing them was regarded as an offensive gesture. In the Novgorod province, if someone who came to the hut refused the treat, they would say to him with offense: “How can you leave an empty hut like that!”

In the 17th century large monasteries sent black to the royal feast Rye bread, part of the bread of the spiritual fathers, thereby blessing the autocrat. This bread was the first thing that was placed on the table at the king's meal.

Also, at the beginning of the meal, the steward presented the king with large oblong loaves of bread, which were distributed to everyone present from senior to junior in rank. Anyone who accepted the bread and subsequently dared to betray the king was considered abandoned by God, cursed.

Actions performed with salt were given close attention. Salt will crumble - to trouble, quarrel, because salt is a symbol of fidelity, friendship, constancy. And if they passed salt to another across the table, it was necessary to laugh loudly, so that again there would be no quarrel. At the same time, laughter protects against evil spirits: laughter is a sign of a living person, not just alive, but cheerful, full of strength, energy, means there is no place here evil spirits! Also, to avoid discord, they threw salt and spat over their left shoulder. With exactly the same actions and words: “It’s the ‘leftists’, let them fight, and Christ is with us!” drove away hostile forces.

Salt like magical talisman protected from the “evil eye”, warded off the otherworldly, “alien” influence that a person encountered both in everyday life and in ritual situations that were significant for him and the whole society. In the past, the owner of the house, as a rule, salted it himself shared food, and you could sprinkle a little salt on the tablecloth. However, under no circumstances should one dip bread in a salt shaker, because “only Judas dipped bread in a salt shaker.”

According to ancient Russian custom, parents greet the newlyweds with bread and salt and invite all guests to the festive table.

The newlyweds always take a bite of the loaf, finding out which of them will be the “first” in the family, and accepting the blessing for their family.
