"In a mustache does not blow": the meaning of phraseology, meaning and examples of use. Is it good to not work at all?

All Russian-speaking people had to hear: "Yes, he does not blow!" The meaning of phraseology will be considered today. We also touch on the hypothesis of origin. And as usual, we give examples of use.

Origin

Since almost all phraseological units come from antiquity, how they entered the language, one can only guess. Nevertheless, this occupation is quite fascinating, and we present the reader with a sample such a hypothesis.

Once upon a time, (probably before Peter the Great), it was customary in a peasant environment to have huge beards (like that of Leo Tolstoy, and perhaps even more). One way or another, but when such a man worked, his beard along with his mustache naturally lost calm and came into motion according to how much the man worked hard and passionately. It is not difficult to guess that if a man did not work, but his mustache was calm, like the whole way of life of a man, not measured by labor.

Now we are ready to answer our question. "In a mustache does not blow": the meaning of phraseology what? So usually talk about a person who does not worry about anything. And the truth is, why, because the nerve cells, although restored, but very reluctantly and slowly. Let's move on to an example.

Ivan Ivanych and a lottery ticket

Everything in life Ivan Ivanych was out of hand badly: his wife was bored, mother-in-law too. He served in an unloved office. The salary was small. In general, everything is like everyone else. And Ivan Ivanovich went home from work and was happy only that he can walk from place of work to a place of rest, and this path takes him a lot of time.

So it was every week, 5 working days. In the yard was Friday, and our hero decided to commit a daring act: if you do not buy, then at least look at the banned by his mother-in-law and his wife. I went in, looked, and at the ticket office decided to buy a lottery ticket.

Do not believe it, but he won. Neighbors began to say: "Well, now Ivan Ivanych, probably, and in a mustache does not blow!" The meaning of phraseology was considered by us a little earlier.

And Ivan Ivanovich was not like that. First, he bought a house abroad with money he had won and sent his mother-in-law (ie, "mother"), wife and children there. He left the children for education, then bought himself a small bookshop. He remained in his one-room apartment. Now in the evenings he had drinks, books forbidden by his mother-in-law and his wife, and no work that was obnoxious to him until death. The same neighbors who saw him said: "Yes, Ivanov now does not blow!" The meaning of phraseology is already known and understandable to the reader.

And if in those parts came across a man who did not know the amazing story about Ivanych and the lottery ticket, he was not released until they told everything to the very end. Moreover, at last they even gave the address of the same bookshop.

Let us discuss the moral side of the matter.

To blow or not to blow in a mustache - that is the question

There is no sweeter dream for a Russian person than a dream of doing nothing. Many of our tales are built on this motif. For example, "By the Pike's Command." But then you want to ask yourself, is it moral to not work? That is, do nothing at all.

The answer can be ambiguous. Phraseology "does not blow" as a characteristic of a person's behavior is good, when this idleness is temporary (days off) or when only the fellow who looks at them around does not blow.

For example, writers. From the point of view of the insight into the essence of the matter, the writer's work is spitting and represents an almost pure pleasure. People think: "What does he work for?" Sit yourself, smoking in the armchair, and compose a variety of entertaining stories, it's not in the factory to change the shift. " That's right.

In a word, from this almost view, the work of the writer - do not beat lying. The writer also does not come in movement.

It is necessary to work and it is honorable, but two conditions must be observed:

1. We must do our own thing.
2. It is necessary to give oneself to work one hundred percent.

As you can see, the first point logically implies the second, but not the other way round.

We hope that the examples were simple and understandable. We remind you that we considered the expression "do not blow." The meaning of phraseology is revealed.
