Hello friends! Today we have a Russian lesson. We will consider the meaning of one of the oldest words, which in our time is very popular among various kinds of citizens. We will talk about the meanings of the word "cattle". This is a multi-valued term, interpreted by each of us in different ways. Let's look at all the options for interpreting this dubious term and find out if we understand its meaning correctly, which we sometimes try to convey to this or that opponent.
Cattle: the meaning of the word
In general, translated from Polish, this word means working cattle. However, since ancient times it has been actively used in relation to people and denote a submissive and weak-willed "herd" of slaves. In the 19th century, landowners called their peasants this word.
Cattle is not even a feature of the lexicon! This is not some kind of behavior of people in society. It's something abstract. For cattle, one always remains importantthe only factor: obedience to someone, constant submission to someone else's will. In other words, he must have a leader, a commander. Cattle is a "vegetable". It cannot live on its own. Therefore, losing the owner is the worst thing that can happen to cattle, friends!
The cattle phenomenon denies human personality, dignity and property. Of course, all freedom is also denied. Cattle will simply disappear at large, because they are not accustomed to earning money on their own, and also do not know how to take any responsibility (including for their own lives). The most interesting thing is that neither upbringing, nor social status, nor income level, nor education matter at all!
All of the above is a well-known and complete concept of the term "cattle". Its only meaning has been divided in our time into several subsidiaries related to certain personalities. So, what do we put into this word today?
Who are the redneck people:
- Remember the gangs of the 90s. Pumped up shaven-headed "bulls", obeying the will of any authority, did not allow people to pass through the markets. So these same "bulls" in tracksuits, physically strong and aggressive, which are easily controlled by the authoritative opinion of the "owner", are cattle in one of the modern understandings. Other words that are semantically similar in this context are "morons", "thugs".
- One morethe ultra-modern meaning of the word we are considering tells us the following. A cattle is any creature in the shell of a person. At the same time, it (the creature) is deprived of intelligence, as well as spiritually poor, which, in turn, causes its unpredictable and disgusting behavior towards the broad masses (insulting citizens). These people are social scum (and of their own free will). Antisocial behavior is their main "weapon". Therefore, the language of force is the main "means of struggle" against this "evil spirit".
So, friends, we have fully considered the main meaning of this unpleasant word, and also learned about its semantic derivatives. I hope that each of you, when he called this or that person a cattle, did it consciously! But be that as it may, I wish you never to say this word! Good luck!
