Here and there we hear the expression "plug in the belt." The value of phraseology will be in the focus of our attention today. We will analyze its origin and meaning.
Origin
There are several versions of the origin of phraseology. They are brought together by the fact that all of them are rooted in the life of the people. The value is not too tricky. The reader himself can speculate its meaning. Until now, workers are putting tools in their belts that are not yet needed, but may soon be needed. Hence the expression "plug in the belt." The meaning of phraseology can be interpreted as "leave behind or surpass in something."
The next hypothesis is that in Russia there was such fun - belt wrestling. Apparently, this is the ancestor of modern sambo. Young people fought and won. Perhaps the awards that they won, they also stuck in a belt as a symbol of triumph. But something else is more likely that this struggle gave birth to the expression “plug in the belt” (the meaning of phraseology becomes clear as a day).
The meaning of the dictum
From the previous section, the meaning of the phrase “plug in the belt” is clear. Nevertheless, we give a few more examples. It seems that when our country hosted a “five-year period in four years” or an arms race with the United States, from our rulers who were less refined (NS Khrushchev immediately comes to mind) than the current ones, you could hear at meetings and meetings with people about the belt. For example: “We were able to plug in the belt (the meaning of phraseology was clear to the audience without explanation ) the USA!” The audience went wild.
Or imagine, there is a celebration of workers of the month or year at some factory. The director gets up and says: “Sidorov is a wonderful employee and a good friend!” “Why is he so good?” - Ask other members of the board who do not know anything about the labor feats of Sidorov. The director turns to them and says: “How, you don’t know what Comrade Sidorov is famous for ?! He was able to heroically overfulfill the plan for six months ahead and plug in the belt (the meaning of phraseology is always about the same, as you can see ) Comrade Petrov! Isn’t this a matter, isn’t it a merit? ”
Yes, "there have been people in our time, not like the current tribe." In the Soviet period, there were leaders who gladdened wholeheartedly for their cause, the cause of the country. However, we were distracted.
Modern life of phraseology
Now that most of the factories and Stakhanovites are in the past, it is difficult to talk about production achievements. But phraseologism lives and is actively used by Russian-speaking people. There is still competition in society, and if so, the phrase “plug in a belt” (the phraseological meaning is “to surpass someone in something”) will be alive and will not be forgotten.
If a person does not compete with someone, then he must shut himself up continuously for a belt - this is an indispensable condition for development. As F. Nietzsche said: "Man is something that must surpass."
