Phraseologisms, sayings, proverbs, and many other popular expressions of any nation (and ours, especially) make the language unique, expressive, juicy and apt.
What is phraseologism?
Phraseologism is a stable expression in which words are not considered separately, but together, together. The Russian language is very rich in sustainable designs, this makes it diverse, multifaceted and deep. Of course, every educated literate person should know as many winged expressions as possible. Sometimes it is difficult to understand the meaning of an expression, it is so confused and has a hidden meaning. For example, understanding the meaning of the phrase “sword of Damocles” (an inevitable, overwhelming thought of danger) will be difficult if you do not know the parable of Damocles, over which a sword hung on a horsehair was hung. Today, when we talk about some kind of problem, or an inevitable event, we can say that it "hangs like a sword of Damocles," that is, it does not give rest, making us think about danger. It is worth noting that phraseological units are present not only in the Russian language, but also in all others. For example, there is the English expression “piece of cake” which literally means “piece of cake”, but means “easy, effortless” and corresponds to the Russian phrase “just spit”.
The meaning of phraseology "to rage with fat"
We often hear the phrase "freaking out with fat," especially from older people. Grandparents, and sometimes parents neglect the politicians or celebrities who distinguished themselves by some strange act. In this case, it is sometimes said that he or she is "mad with fat." That is, with a very good state of things in their lives, full of security, they begin to do stupid, delusional acts from boredom. So, the meaning of phraseology “to rave about fat” is to be arrogant from a good, secure life. Often this phrase is addressed to children who, according to their parents, having everything they need, begin to act up and picky out of business. To know the phraseologism “mad with fat”, like others in the Russian language, it is very important to understand the speech of other people and enrich your own.
What is etymology
This is a section of linguistics that studies the origin of words, or, in this case, winged expressions. It’s very exciting, taking a word we are accustomed to, to delve into the history of the language and find out why the objects are called so and not otherwise. For example, the simple word "homeland" denotes the place where you were born, and comes from the word "kind".
And now back to the phraseologism "mad with fat." Its origin has two theories, one of which is most likely comic. They say that from overfeeding and, consequently, obesity, rabies began in dogs. But this is not particularly confirmed in any way, and the veterinarians even laugh at all. The second theory has documented, historical evidence. This is not about the weight of a person and his complexion. The word "fat" in the old days meant wealth, property. Our ancestors had a deeper understanding of the nature of human behavior, seeing basic problems. And then everything falls into place: a man who is furious with fat, is weary of wealth.
