In this article, we will consider such a concept as ambiguous phrases, give examples of some of them, analyze their meaning, I would also like to draw your attention to how the same phrases changed their meaning after a while, remember your favorite cartoons, joke ... ambiguously. So, let's begin.
Definition
By ambiguous phrases understand such expressions or statements that can be interpreted ambiguously. This is the first. And secondly, the term "ambiguous phrases" refers to expressions containing an immodest or even indecent hint. As an example, consider the following text.
"He looked at her, she looked down at him, brought a glass of water to her lips and took a few sips." Do you want? "She asked, having waited exactly enough for some ambiguity to reach him."
Or let’s give an example: “a boy in a club glued a model”. With this example, we can track how a phrase spoken, for example, in the 70s of the last century, today acquired ambiguity. At that time, every word in it was understood in its direct meaning; today, on youth slang, this ambiguous phrase can be rephrased as follows: a young man met a girl in a music entertainment center. There you go!
Humor and subtleties of communication
A sense of humor is a wonderful gift that makes it easier for a person to bear the hardships of life, look at problems from the other side, and just relax and have a good laugh. So let's take humor to such an example: "To everyone who is so tired of my heavy character, I suggest a break! Put your own accents!" Yes, let's say that such an example of an ambiguous phrase can be categorized as black humor, it is full of overt cynical sarcasm, but you must admit that most people smile.
And again, very often we, men and women, communicating with each other, use ambiguity, and not always with the purpose of an indiscreet hint, but quite often to avoid conflict or to rush, suggest, play a trick. Let us, as an example, touch on the male vocabulary and analyze the male duality of phrases. So he says: “This is a man’s business!” The duality of this phrase is that you do not understand anything in this matter. Or such a phrase: "Help you in the kitchen?" This phrase can be understood as follows: but not to cut bread or, perhaps, put cutlery? And you can interpret it like this: "Why is there still no dinner on the table?"
Famous phrases from ... cartoons
In the form of quotes, sayings, expressions, proverbs and sayings, our ancestors left us an incredible storehouse of wisdom, but I would like to touch upon, or rather, recall, the famous phrases from all of our favorite cartoons, which in their own way left their mark in our souls. These are wonderful memories from childhood that did not lose their relevance when you and I ceased to be children and became adults.
So, the animated film “The Adventures of the Kuzi Domestic” and his famous phrase: “Happiness is when you have everything at home.” Agree, however, that this expression also contains a certain ambiguity. But the most-beloved cartoon, which can be attributed to the category of masterpieces, so he won the people's love. This is "Once upon a time." Smiled “I'll sing right now!” or "You come in, if that."
Conclusion Total
And in conclusion, I would like to summarize what has been said to note that ambiguous phrases, despite their sometimes immodest and vulgar subtext, can remarkably lift the mood of any person, make him laugh, and sometimes think about life, relationships and himself. And that little grain that was brought to your attention, I would hope, will cheer you up.
