Today, duty tells us to consider an interesting, but controversial topic. We will talk about swearing - a stable phrase "survived from the mind." We learn the meaning and certain conditions of use, in the final we are waiting for sentences with phraseological units.
Value
First, a small introduction. It is no secret that the human body, although it contains an immortal soul, is subject to aging and decline, or, poetic, decadence. In the information society, a person is aging, probably even earlier, faster. At least he is very tired. News every day he is bombarded mercilessly. And there is nothing surprising in the fact that a relatively young person can now survive from the mind. By the way, here's what is important: a similar epithet is used in relation to any non-standard or abnormal behavior at any age.
But if we look into the dictionary, then it says the following: "To grow stupid from old age." That is, the dictionary insists that this is characteristic only of senile dementia. But, of course, here we are not talking about a specific disease, but about the fact that a person is completely tactlessly reminded of his age and the inconvenience associated with it. But not everything is so bad, sometimes old age brings with it not stupidity, but wisdom. True, sometimes it comes alone, that is, a person does not particularly change, even washed for years, he remains the same.
So speak of the absent or in anger
Let's catch on the tactlessness of the phrase “survive from the mind” and develop a theme. There is one pattern in this regard. And it is extremely important in the context of the topic. So they will never or almost never say about the person who is in the room at the moment. That is, it is quite possible to imagine a situation when two people are talking and one speaks to another, say, about his boss, who is already in his years: “Yes, the old man has completely lost his mind: forcing us to go to work on time, count up?” The question of bringing up the speaker is left to his conscience. But imagine that such an employee will tell the boss himself, or at least in a situation where his absence is not guaranteed 100%. This cannot be, right?
Another moment when a person says so in anger. People often use the stable phrase “survived out of mind” when they want to express the utmost degree of indignation. The example is slightly strange, but we want to avoid cruelty, so let the reader tolerate.
A person quits smoking, but this process is difficult for him. Therefore, in a nervous situation, he inserts a pen into his mouth and sets it on fire, it melts and stains his shirt. He understands what he does when it is too late. The wife, seeing traces of ink, may well say: “Have you already managed to survive from the mind, why did you try to smoke a pen ?!”
So they will never say about a really sick person
Imagine that a person has really senile dementia, who should be in the moral sense in order to use phraseologism for such a patient? It’s worth considering, but does the person himself feel well? Actually, this is built into the simplest code of conduct - you can not laugh at what is obvious: appearance, illness, any other shortcomings. Such actions primarily offend his initiator, and not the object of ridicule.
suggestions
Yes, we already had situations that we considered in order to better understand the meaning of the stable phrase “survived from the mind”, but now the time has come for concrete sentences-illustrations with it:
- Father, what are you saying? Find me a job, why? After all, you have a good salary. You know, I suspect, or rather, I'm afraid, but have you survived from the mind?
- Listen, I can’t survive from (how is it?) The mind, because I’m too young for this: I’m only 120 years old, and I heard that they begin to survive at least when they reach the 150 mark.
- Yes, yes, perhaps our boss is eccentric. But you leave these dirty hints that he survived, they say, out of his mind. This, I tell you, is nonsense. He, our boss, is an excellent man, even despite his age of 95 years.
It is clear that the topic is sad. But it is difficult to distance oneself from the topic of age when a dictionary insists on a specific meaning. We only hope that our jokes were not too rude.
