ALL TRIN IS GRASS.
The mysterious "tryn-grass" is not at all some kind of herbal medicine that is drunk so as not to worry. At first it was called "tyn-grass", and tyn is a fence. It turned out "fence grass", that is, a weed that no one needs, indifferent to everyone.
FILL ON THE FIRST NUMBER.
Believe it or not, in the old school, students were flogged every week, regardless of who was right and who was wrong. And if the "mentor" overdoes it, then such a spanking was enough for a long time, until the first day of the next month.
GOAL LIKE A FALCON.
Terribly poor, beggar. Usually they think that we are talking about a falcon bird. But she's not here. In fact, the "falcon" is an old military battering ram. It was a completely smooth ("bare") cast-iron ingot, mounted on chains. Nothing extra!
SIROTA OF KAZAN.
So they say about a person who pretends to be unhappy, offended, helpless in order to pity someone. But why is the orphan specifically "Kazan"? It turns out that this phraseological unit arose after the conquest of Kazan by Ivan the Terrible. Mirzas (Tatar princes), being subjects of the Russian Tsar, tried to beg him for all sorts of indulgences, complaining about their orphanhood and bitter fate.
INSIDE OUT.
Now it seems to be quite a harmless expression. And once it was associated with a shameful punishment. During the time of Ivan the Terrible, a guilty boyar was put back to front on a horse in clothes turned inside out and in this form, disgraced, was driven around the city to the whistle and ridicule of the street crowd.
LEAD BY THE NOSE.
To deceive, promising and not fulfilling the promise. This expression was associated with fairground entertainment. The gypsies led the bears by wearing a nose ring. And they forced them, the poor fellows, to do various tricks, deceiving them with the promise of handouts.
SCAPEGOAT.
This is the name of a person who is blamed for someone else's fault. The history of this expression is as follows: the ancient Jews had a rite of absolution. The priest laid both hands on the head of a live goat, thereby, as it were, shifting the sins of the whole people onto him. After that, the goat was driven out into the wilderness. Many, many years have passed, and the rite no longer exists, but the expression lives on.
SHARPEN LYASY.
Lyasy (balusters) are chiseled curly columns of railings at the porch. Only a real master could make such beauty. Probably, at first, "sharpening balusters" meant having an elegant, bizarre, ornate (like balusters) conversation. But craftsmen to conduct such a conversation by our time became less and less. So this expression began to denote empty chatter.
GRATED KALAC.
In the old days there really was such a kind of bread - "grated kalach". The dough for it was kneaded, kneaded, "rubbed" for a very long time, which made the kalach unusually lush. And there was also a proverb - "do not grate, do not mint, there will be no kalach." That is, a person is taught by trials and tribulations. The expression comes from this proverb.
NICK DOWN.
If you think about it, the meaning of this expression seems cruel - you must admit, it is not very pleasant to imagine an ax next to your own nose. In fact, everything is not so sad. In this expression, the word "nose" has nothing to do with the organ of smell. "Nose" was called a commemorative plaque, or a tag for records. In the distant past, illiterate people always carried with them such boards and sticks, with the help of which all kinds of notes or notches were made as a keepsake.
AFTER THE RAIN ON THURSDAY.
Rusichi - the most ancient ancestors of Russians - honored among their gods the main god - the god of thunder and lightning Perun. One of the days of the week, Thursday, was dedicated to him (it is interesting that among the ancient Romans, Thursday was also dedicated to the Latin Perun - Jupiter). Perun offered prayers for rain in a drought. It was believed that he should be especially willing to fulfill requests on "his day" - Thursday. And since these prayers often remained in vain, the saying "After the rain on Thursday" began to be applied to everything that is not known when it will be fulfilled.
BREAK A LEG.
This expression arose among hunters and was based on the superstitious idea that with a direct wish (both down and feather), the results of the hunt can be jinxed. Feather in the language of hunters means a bird, fluff - animals. In ancient times, a hunter going on a hunt received this parting word, the "translation" of which looks something like this: "Let your arrows fly past the target, let the snares and traps you set remain empty, just like the hunting pit!" To which the miner, in order not to jinx it, also replied: "To hell!". And both were sure that the evil spirits, invisibly present at this dialogue, would be satisfied and leave behind, would not plot during the hunt.
BEAT BUCKLES.
What are "backcloths", who and when "beats" them? For a long time handicraftsmen have been making spoons, cups and other utensils from wood. To cut a spoon, it was necessary to chip off a chock - a baklusha - from a log. Apprentices were entrusted with preparing buckwheat: it was an easy, trifling matter that did not require special skills. Cooking such chocks was called "baklushi to beat." From here, from the ridicule of the masters over the auxiliary workers - "bottlenecks", our saying went.
RUBBING GLASSES.
How can glasses be "rubbed"? Where and why? Such a picture would look very ridiculous. And the absurdity occurs because we are not talking about glasses at all, which serve to correct vision. There is another meaning of the word "points": red and black marks on playing cards. There is even a gambling card game, so called - "point". Since the cards exist, there have been dishonest players, cheaters in the world. They, in order to deceive a partner, indulged in all sorts of tricks. They were able, among other things, to quietly "rub glasses" - to turn a seven into a six or a four into a five, on the go, during the game, sticking a "point" or covering it with a special white powder. And the expression "rubbing glasses" began to mean "cheating", hence other words were born: "fraud", "fraudster" - a trickster who knows how to embellish his work, pass off bad as very good.
ON ANGRY (OFFENDED) WATER IS CARRIED.
This saying can be said to a person who is angry and angry in vain. The roots of the saying come from old colloquial speech. Then the word "angry" meant diligent, zealous, diligent. It was these diligent and diligent horses that were chosen for hard work - they carried water in barrels from the river. Thus, the most "angry" (that is, diligent) got the most thankless hard work.
THE WORD IS NOT A SPARROW - YOU CAN'T FLY OUT.
The proverb teaches - before you say anything, you need to think carefully. After all, it’s easy to say a word, but no matter how you later regret what was said ...
FEAR HAS BIG EYES...
A person who is seized with fear and frightened very often exaggerates the danger and sees it where it actually does not exist.
THE MOUNTAIN BORN A MOUSE.
The ancient Greek legend of the pregnant Mount Olympus is considered the primary source of this proverb. The god Zeus, afraid that the birth of this mountain would cause major upheavals in the camp of the gods, made the mountain ... give birth to a mouse. The proverb "The mountain gave birth to a mouse" is used in a situation where significant and gigantic efforts eventually bring an insignificant result.

DO NOT COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY ARE HATCHED.
In autumn (simple) - in autumn. Not all chickens born in the summer survive on farms until autumn. Birds of prey will carry someone away, the weak simply will not survive, which is why they say that chickens should be counted in the fall, when it is clear how many of them survived.

It fell into disuse after 1917, when the country introduced the metric system of measures, which was based on the meter (a measure of length) and the kilogram (a measure of weight).

HERE FOR YOU, GRANDMA, AND YURIEV'S DAY.

The emergence of serfdom, that is, the legally fixed right of a landowner (feudal lord) to a person, forced labor and property of a peasant, dates back to the time of Kievan Rus (IX-XII centuries). The peasants, although they were considered free (free), did not have the right to move from one owner to another during the year: the custom demanded that they leave only after all field work was completed, at the beginning of winter, when the grain had already been harvested. In the middle of the 15th century, peasants were allowed to move from one owner to another once a year - a week before St. George's Day and a week after it (St. George's Day, that is, the day of St. George, in Russian, Yuri, the patron saint of farmers, was celebrated November 26, according to the old style, chronology). At the end of the 16th century, the transition of peasants was also prohibited on St. George's Day. Thus, the peasants were attached to the land and had to stay with their landowner for life. The peasants, who were waiting for St. George's Day as the only opportunity to change their master and try to improve their lives, had their last hope of changing their situation taken away. So there was a saying expressing regret for unfulfilled hopes.
