Today we will talk about what everyone wants, but not everyone decides on it, even if given the opportunity. It's about the desire to hit the jackpot - this is the desire that unites many people, regardless of race, nationality and beliefs.
Meaning
Agree, quite often you hear that someone hit the jackpot. But we rarely admit to ourselves that we do not really understand what is at stake. One under the kush means a large amount of money, the other - a reward for labor, the third - a beautiful and desirable woman, but not at all rich.
The time has come to dispel the darkness of ignorance and overcome rumors. Moreover, kush is an unambiguous word.
The Dictionary is strict, and it says the following about our subject: "Large amount of money." The word is colloquial.
So any other meanings people bring to this word are subjective interpretations that have nothing to do with the dictionary meaning.
Why are there different interpretations of the word?
The problem is not as simple as it seems at first glance. Of course, a lotcan be attributed to the ignorance of a person, they say, people do not know the dictionary meanings of words and use them in a way that suits them. But this does not solve the problem and develops laziness of the soul. We think that the reason is different. First, there are synonyms for the word "kush", here they are:
- profit;
- win;
- jackpot;
- mining;
- gain.
Even without effort, one can understand that the jackpot in this case is not only “a large amount of money”, as it is written in the dictionary. In fact, something else is fixed in the language: kush is a reward in the broadest sense of the word. Here you can fantasize about how much it is usually deserved and so on, but the main thing is that it is not only money.
Secondly, there is the idiom "to hit the jackpot", which means "to get rich booty or profit." Considering that, according to the dictionary, the expression came from thieves' jargon, one should not think that the income received in this way is labor. Although time and language blur the meanings of some sayings, and people now speak, especially without thinking about the origin and original meaning. Our goal is to improve overall literacy, which is why we are looking into the meaning of the word “kush.”
Snatch (2000) and other scam films
The reader thinks we're getting sidetracked by being distracted by criminal films, but even this entertaining section carries a certain meaning: the meaning is assimilated better when it is associated with vivid emotional experiences. And the word "kush" is something that cinema cannot leave withoutattention, the topic is very fertile.
So everything will work out. We will not overload the reader, we will note only 5 films that are worth watching while studying the topic. So:
- "Snatch" (2000).
- "Code of a Thief" (2009).
- "Point Break" (1991).
- "Maverick" (1994).
- "Cards, Money, Two Smoking Barrels" (1998).
The list opens and closes with Guy Ritchie paintings. This technique is admitted by us consciously. All these films are united by a theme. Thanks to them, the viewer will not only understand what a kush is, but also learn about the types and types of scammers, that they, like all people, are different, for every taste. Some can even empathize. Of course, all films - the first grade in terms of the cast. Almost all of the participants are celebrities.
Citizens and Adventurers
The question about the jackpot anyway will eventually lead us to more general reflections about why some people prefer a free, but not stable life, while others prefer a stable, but reminiscent of a cage, or rather, a shuttle on a sewing machine. In other words, the definition of "Kush" brings up the old tension between "decent citizens" on the one hand and "adventurers" and "adventurers" on the other. Characteristics are in quotation marks because they are relative.
Not only bandits and criminals want to live freely and dream of a prosperous, rich life. Every human life begins with the dream of freedom. You might think,that people dream of working in a factory or in an office as full-time employees - impersonal screws of the system. No, such a dream is unimaginable even in a bad nightmare.
All people are originally adventurers, but then the commitment to the dream becomes too difficult, the firmness of the spirit is tested by hunger, cold and lack of money. And someone turns, choosing stability, giving up the dream. Such is the mechanism (the most approximate) of the transformation of a person into an inhabitant. Those who do not deviate from the principles are sometimes lucky, and sometimes not. Some break the jackpot in the kind of life that they have always strived for, everyone has their own, while others do not swim to the desired shore: they either give up, cannot withstand uncertainty and succumb to stability, or die on the way to their dream. True, few people remember and generally know about the latter.
But let's not fall into despair, especially since while a person is alive, he does not have serious reasons for this, because everything can be changed, and the jackpot (imaginary or real) is the goal that acts as an incentive to insignificant and deep transformations.
