Our speech is replete with proverbs and sayings. That is why she is good, and so we love, Rusich. And many winged expressions came to us from distant ancestors. Therefore, even using some kind of phrase, not everyone understands its literal meaning. What, for example, does the phrase “Kalashny row” mean in a well-known saying? Not knowing the meaning of even one word, it is difficult to understand the meaning of the entire phraseology.
History reference
Everyone knows that in ancient times, people bought products and other goods not in shops and supermarkets, but in the market. And for the convenience of sellers each stood on their own "street" - that is, in their own row.
There were rows of meat, cloth, honey, fish, and books. An interesting name was the sale of items of women's toilet - sensitive products. And there were even lousy ranks! Of course, they did not sell lice as such, but to drag them out of there was commonplace. After all, smartly and cheerfully in these rows traded old, worn things. And the buyers were low-income people, not always able to maintain proper hygiene.
But only the sellers of bread got into the ranks. And not ordinary rye, which any buyer of the average hand could afford, but kalachov, which were intended only for wealthy people. After all, they were baked from wheat of the highest grade, the best grinding. And the dough for them required a special recipe for cooking. Before baking, his bakers crumpled and rubbed for a long time, and therefore the kalachi turned out to be lush and high.
Bread is not just food, it is a symbol of labor!
It is because of the fact that so much care and energy was invested in creating kalach, people have long been respectful of bread. To this day, there is a ritual among the Slavs to meet welcome guests with bread and salt. And the Kalachs themselves looked festive, elegant. Often such a loaf was placed in the center of the table for a great celebration - like cakes now.
Of course, kalach merchants took great care of their goods. After all, bread is extremely easy to absorb any odors. And away from the butchers and fish shops there was a Kalash line. The meaning of this phrase due to such reverence for bread began to mean something noble, far from the everyday purchase of the average man in the middle.
What is the meaning of the phrase "pork snout"?
It is clear that it means something not very beautiful and personal. The Explanatory Dictionary provides such an explanation of these words. The snout is the front of the face of some animals and fish. In the phrase there is a clarification that this part of the body belongs to a pig.
In this context, it is considered correct to understand by-product "pork snout". Usually they are traded in parallel with meat. Therefore, it is believed that the proverb "Do not go into the ranks with the pork snout!" it makes sense to indicate: each product has its own place in the market. Proof of this are other, synonymous with this winged phrases. They say: “With cloth (or chaffin) snout, do not go into the Kalash line!”
The figurative meaning of the expression means that each person must know his place; boots should be shoveled by a shoemaker, and a pie should be cooked with pies; the cook will command the kitchen, and people specially trained in this, and so on, will rule the state.
That’s why the pork snout was created so that the beds of the snout …
But often people modify the proverb "Do not go with the pork snout in the ranks of Kalash!" in my own way. They give a completely different meaning to the first part. Indeed, in the subconscious of most people, a pig is a dirty, stupid, evil, ugly animal. And the "pork snout" is interpreted as a person unworthy, of low origin. Even the saying itself is often used in a modified form. “Where are you with your pork snout - yes, in the elite row?”
Of course, the general meaning remains the same: everyone should take their place in life. But in this context, he is more subjective, aimed at a specific person. And quite humiliating.
