Damn - what kind of swearing? The meanings of the word, the interpretation and examples

We all know that a pancake is a delicious treat. But it will not go completely into this, or rather, not only. In the area of our special attention the noun came in a different capacity. Today, consider the "pancake" as a curse, but without lighting culinary sense, too, will not do.

Value

If you look at the explanatory dictionary, he will say that the noun we are considering has the following meaning: "A thin flat cake made of liquid sour dough baked in a frying pan." The question to the connoisseurs, why such a delicious dish as pancakes (this is part of our research), turned into a word-"weed" with a difficultly defined meaning?

While connoisseurs think, we will say: blame for everything is phraseology. There is such expression "Damn burnt". He has two basic meanings:

1. So they say about who does not know how to work, is not fit for work.
2. Expression of emotions.

We owe him almost an interjection of "pancake". How it was?

Reduction of phraseology to the word

Spoken language tends to save. He wants to pack the maximum number of meanings in a minimum number of letters. Therefore, indecent words or their substitutions - euphemisms are in such demand. Of course, the educated reader will say that it's not just about economy, but also in the absence of a rich vocabulary and poor upbringing. Perhaps all this, but now we are trying to understand what the blasphemy is, this is our main topic.

Each time to say "a pancake burnt" - too long, to some extent even uncomfortable. And when the adjective is removed, people say and do not even notice. By the way, these words are parasites. The latter penetrate so deeply into speech that they completely cease to be aware.

Functions of "decorative elements" in speech

Why is the "pancake" so multifaceted? To answer this question, let us consider what functions an "insertion element" can perform.

1. Expressing emotions: joy, disappointment, sadness, pain, delight, annoyance.
2. A bunch of words in the sentence.
3. Stimulator for memory. After the words: "Damn, what's his name?", A person tries to remember the name. And if the matter concerns the subject, then the situation is similar. Only questions change. For example: "Damn, where did I touch the notebook / pen / keys?".
4. Lets take a pause and think.
5. Subconsciously keeps the attention of the interlocutor.

It turns out that the word-parasites are not so useless as they are supposed to think. So much interesting can be learned from the concept, if only give yourself the trouble to think.

List of the most popular words that spoil a speech

Since we began to talk about such a burning topic, why not give the reader a more or less expanded list of "verbal garbage". Yes, it will not include everything, only popular. Everyone no-no, but allowed himself such blunders. So:

• as if;
• Here;
• Means;
• Shorter;
• generally;
• well yes;
• basically;
• something like that;
• just;
• clearly understood.

That's enough. Probably, the reader himself is able to continue this wonderful list. But back to our main topic.

When did the word "pancake" become active?

It happened in the 80's or even 90's of the last century. Until then, the indecent word for a slutty woman was replaced by other consonant definitions - "look," "brother." This can be seen if you view the thieves' songs of that time. Although some sources claim that the "pancake" - this is a curse, which arose in the 60's. 20th century. There are two hypotheses, so the reader is free to choose the one that is more to his liking.

By the way, some people understand that the object of research is still a replacement for a word that is not used in a decent society, so ask them not to express themselves. Few know this story, but teachers and teachers of Russian can not be fooled. With them it is better to follow the flow of speech, or you can fly into reefs.

Why not "decorate" your speech with "vignettes" in the form of "pancakes"?

It would seem, you will think, the person uses as interjections a flour product in nonconventional sense? Unfortunately, such inattention to his speech goes to him sideways. What does the language "contamination" show? Here are some options:

1. Maloobrazovannost.
2. Ignorance.
3. Poor vocabulary.
4. Confusion of thoughts.
5. Not knowing the Russian literary language.
6. Nervousness.
7. Uncertainty.
8. Fear.

In addition, for the addressee conversation turns into torture. Of course, not only the meaning of the word "pancake" here is guilty, but in general all those elements that distort speech. And if he, for example, is nervous - this is one thing, and if the use of "weeds" is an indicator of illiteracy, then it must be eliminated urgently. A person is so arranged that he will not work on himself without an incentive. Therefore, it is possible that the lack of content is present in his speech before the first major fiasco.

Do I have to stop using pancakes?

Yes! Decisively and finally. All the previous narrative insists that the reader do this immediately! But what are the reasons, is not "damn" a swear word? Strictly speaking, no. Even if a man or woman at an exam in a university says: "Damn, I can not remember the definition," they may not be brought out with the escort. Comrades' court does not threaten them either. But it's important to remember which word "pancake" replaces. If you think about it more often, then, probably, the desire to swear will disappear by itself.

Of course, there are jobs so far, where mate is almost professional slang. You can recall the speech of M.N. Zadornov, who talked about the research of scientists, why the Russians won the war. It turned out that they spent fewer words on military teams. The reader guesses, probably, how.

The rest, those who do not need a mate, it is worth remembering that a pancake is a dirty word, and it is better to forget about it.
