The fact that the original Old Russian verb " blyaditi" means " to err, err, rant, lie. " That is, if you gab whacker ( whether aware of it or not) , you might well be called a whore, regardless of gender. At this same time in the Slavic languages were living happily ever else is very similar in sound to the word " bluditi" which means " to wander" ( cf. Ukrainian " Bluecut. " ) Gradually, the word " fornication" were to determine not only the expedition Ivan Susanin, but indiscriminately " wandering" sex life. There were the words " whore" , " bludolyubie" , " vaulted chamber" ( a house of debauchery) .

First, both words existed in isolation, but then gradually began to mingle. each, which opened Dahls dictionary, can read what a bitch means . . . " dead, palaya beast" , that is, to put it simply - carrion, rotting flesh. Soon, a few words " stervoza" men were contemptuously called particularly heinous and harmful ( " tainted" ) whores. And as harmful for men, women, apparently, Plant ( pure male satisfaction from overcoming obstacles) , then the word " bitch" , while retaining a fair share of negative, arrogated to itself and some features of the " femme fatale" . While on its initial value, we still like vulture vulture, feeding on carrion. Girls are different.

Perhaps the word " contagion" is not all offended, but compliment it certainly will not name. And yet, initially it was still a compliment. In the first half of XVIII century secular suitors constantly " called names" beautiful ladies " infect" , and the poets even recorded it in verse. And all because the word " infect" originally imelo. EDe only medically- infectious sense, but it was a synonym for " immediately" .

In the First Novgorod Chronicle under the year 1117 is an entry: " Edin from dyak zarazhen been to see ot thunder. In general, contaminated well, that and cheer no time . . . So the word " taint" came to signify feminine charms, which they fight ( infected) men. If we had been transported somewhere ages of five or six years ago in the mountainous region of the French Alps and appealed to the local inhabitants: " Hello, asshole! " , Nobody would have you in the abyss of not thrown off.

Why take offense - in the local dialect word cretin is quite respectable and translated as . . . " Christian" ( from the distorted French. Chretien) . That was until until they started to notice that among the alpine cretins often meet people mentally retarded with characteristic goiter on her neck. It later emerged that in the mountainous terrain in the water often a shortage of iodine, resulting in disturbed activity of the thyroid gland, with all the ensuing consequences. When doctors began to describe this disease, we decided not to invent anything new, and used the dialect word " idiot" , is extremely rarely used.

Since alpine " Christians" have become " insane" . The Greek word [ idiot] originally did not contain even a hint of mental illness.

In ancient Greece it signified a " private person" , " separate, isolated people. " Its no secret that the ancient Greeks belonged to the social life very seriously and called themselves " polites. Those who from participation in politics declined ( for example, did not go to vote) , called " idiotes" ( ie, employed only his personal narrow interests) . Naturally, the " idiots" conscious citizens are not respected, and soon the word overgrown with new disparaging tones - " a limited, undeveloped, ignorant people. And already the Romans Latin idiota means only " ignorant, brutish, where two steps to the value of" stupid " . " Boobs" in Russia called the stone or wooden pagan idols, and also the source material or workpiece - whether stone or wood ( cf.

Czech balvan - " block" or Serbo- Croatian " Balvan" - " log, beam) .

It is believed that the word has come in Slavic languages from Turkic languages. a very long time, the word idiot was not offended.

The documents XV- XVII centuries. word occurs as a name . . . . And so they are not slaves, but people are quite solid - Prince Theodore S.

Kem Fool, " " Prince Ivan Bearded Fool Zasyekin " , " Moscow clerk ( also the position of so little - VG) Mishurin fool. " Since the same time begins and countless " silly" names - Durov, Fools, Durnovo . . . And the fact is that the word " idiot" is often used as a second netserkovnogo name. In the old days it was popular to give the baby a middle name to deceive the evil spirits - they said that with the fool to take? This is a very popular word nowadays [ hick] Two centuries ago it was run only for residents of the Russian North, and called them not the people, and . . . fish.

Perhaps, many have heard how bravely and stubbornly goes to the place of the famous salmon spawning ( or as it is called - salmon) .

Going against the flow, it overcomes even the steep rocky rapids. It is clear that reaching and otnerestivshis fish loses last strength ( as they said " oblohovivaetsya" ) and wounded literally stalled downstream. And there it is naturally expect cunning fishermen and take, as they say, with his bare hands. Gradually the word has passed from the national language in the jargon brodyachihtorgovtsev - Ofen ( hence, by the way, and the expression " talk to the hair dryer" , ie to communicate in jargon) . " Lohoma" they called peasant- farmer, who came from the countryside into the city, which was easy to inflate. 1812 . . . previously undefeated Napoleons army, exhausted by the cold and the guerrillas retreated from Russia.

Bravo conquerors of Europe have become frozen and starving waifs. Now they are not required, and humbly asked the Russian peasants something to eat, turning to him " sher ami" ( " " ) . Peasants, in foreign languages is not strong, and nicknamed the French beggars - sharomyzhniki. Not least of these metamorphoses have played, obviously, and the Russian word " fumble" and " roam" . Since farmers are not always able to provide " humanitarian aid" former occupier, those often included in your diet horsemeat, including the fallen.

In French, " horse" - cheval ( hence, incidentally, is well- known word " chevalier" - Knight Rider) . But the Russian, not seen in the eating of horses special knighthood, dubbed the word " pathetic Frenchie" trash " in the sense of" rags " .

Not all Frenchmen reached France. Many were taken prisoner, the Russian nobles arranged for his service. To harvest them, of course, no good, but as tutors, teachers and leaders of the fortress theaters have fallen by the way. Sent to the casting peasants, they examined me, and if the talent in the applicant was not seen, waving his hand and said " Shantra pas" ( " to sing for nothing" ) .

But a word of Polish origin and meant only " a simple, neznatny people. " For example, the famous play by Alexander Ostrovskys " Every Wise Man Stumbles" in Polish theaters were called " Notes of a scoundrel. " Accordingly, a " dastardly folk" are not included all nobles. Rogue, rogue - words that came into our speech in Germany. German schelmen means " rascal, liar. Most of the so- called con artists pretending to be someone else.

In Heinrich Heines poem " Rogue von Berger in this role serves Bergen executioner, who was on the secular masquerade, pretending to be a distinguished man. The Duchess, with whom he danced, caught a fraud, ripping off his mask. " Mymra - Komi- Permyatsk word and translated it as" gloomy " . Once in the Russian speech, it came to mean primarily unsociable homebody ( in dictionary Dahl and says: " mymrit - bezvylazno stay at home" ) . Gradually, mymroy " began to call and simply was the shy, dull, gray and gloomy man. " Svolochati" - in ancient is the same as " svolakivat.

Therefore, initially called the scum of every kind of rubbish that raked in a pile. This value ( among others) and stored in Dal: " You bastard - all that scum or dragged into one place: weeds, grass and roots, litter, svolochenny harrow with arable land.

Over time, this word began to identify any crowd, gathered in one place. And only then they began to call all but the despicable people - alcoholics, thieves, vagrants and other antisocial elements. Another word, which originally existed only in the plural. Otherwise, it could not be as " scum" was called the remnants of the liquid, which remained at the bottom along with sediment.

And as the inns and taverns often wandered every rabble, emptying muddy remnants alcohol for other visitors, then soon the word " scum" passed on them. It is also possible that the major role played here and the words " scum" that is, people are demoralized, are " at the bottom. " The word " hybrid" , as you know, non- Russian and the Peoples arsenal included a rather late. Much later than themselves hybrids - crosses between different animal species. So thought the people for crossbreds such phrases " bastard" and " bastard" .

Words for a long time in the field of animal did not stay and have been used in a degrading name bastard and bastards, ie, " hybrids" of nobles from commoners. the word " arrogance" , " arrogant" for a long time existed in the Russian language in the sense of " sudden, rapid, explosive, quick- tempered. " Widespread in Old Russia and the notion of " brazen death" , that is death does not slow, natural, and the sudden, violent.

In the church the product XI century " Lives of the Saints" has lines like: " Mchasha horses insolent, " " Rivers drown I shamelessly ( brazenly, that is, fast) . " Vulgarity" - a word originally Russian, which is rooted in the verb " go" . Prior to the XVII century it was used in more than decently meaning and means all the familiar, traditional, committed to tradition, what went from time immemorial. However, at the end of XVII - beginning of XVIII century began Petrine reforms, prorubka window to Europe and fight with all the ancient " vulgar" usages. The word " vulgar" was to lose their respect, and now more and more means - " backward" , " hateful, " " uncivilized, " " naive. " Etymology " bastard" back to the word " frozen" .

The cold even for the northern peoples no pleasant associations do not matter, so " bastard" came to be called cold, unfeeling, indifferent, callous, inhuman . . . It is extremely ( to shudder! ) Unpleasant subject. The word " scum" , incidentally, comes from the same place. As popular today " scumbags" . What is a person to something no good, in general, it is understandable . . .

But in the XIX century, when Russia introduced conscription, this word was not an insult. So called people not fit for military service. That is, not just served in the army - hence scoundrel! " Chmarit" , " jerk" , according to Dahl, originally meant " to wither, " " remain in Need" , " vegetate" .

Gradually, the father of the verb a noun defining miserable person in the degraded depressed. In the prison world, prone to all kinds of secret codes, the word " schmuck" have become regarded as an abbreviation definitions of " person, morally delete" , which, however, quite far from the original meaning. There is a theory that the first " zhlob" called those who drank greedily, gulping. One way or another, but the first reliably known meaning of this word - " meanie, meanie. " And now the phrase " Do not zhlob! " means " Do not be greedy! " .
