"Slaughter" is about the necessary sacrifice

Some sonorous expressions seem appropriate, even when a person does not fully understand their meaning. I just heard from one of the parents or teachers, and now I'm trying to use a beautiful phrase in terms of similarity of meanings. But in what situation do they go for the slaughter? This word clearly means something bad or dangerous. Here are just concepts that are identical in meaning to modern Russian cannot be found unless you look into religious literature or get carried away by adventure novels.

In Kievan Rus

But there is no secret. Philologists refer to the Church Slavonic version of "stabbing." In the test form, the speaker implies:

• killing with piercing weapons, as well as any sharp object;

• Sacrificing someone in this way.

“Slaughter” is about talking about death. Although this interpretation is considered obsolete, it is not used in Russia of the XXI century for its intended purpose. What are we talking about?

Drinking practice

The noun is almost no different from the verb according to its meaning. In total, there are three popular interpretations:

• killing action through stabbing;

• the result of such an action;

• the object being sacrificed is an act of sacrifice.

Too long to list what the slaughter means for each specific religious cult in whose texts it occurs. But for the layman, the word is closely connected with deprivation, the loss of something valuable, with bodily and mental anguish.

Household self-irony

How to be in a society where murder is considered a crime? The term gradually evolved and received an ironic color. Someone decides on a feat and on behalf of the team goes to the leader to ask for a raise in salary. For others, a “slaughter” is an exam with a picky professor. Any everyday occurrences can be called a capacious word, if you want to indicate your torment, a strong unwillingness to take part.

Depending on the context, it means persistent rejection by the speaker of certain things. Or takes the form of jokes, teasing a loved one, which is afraid of everything banal:

• going to the doctor;

• meeting with spouse's parents;

• talking with neighbors, etc.

Contemporaries donate not life, but free time and nerve cells to solve their problems.

Communication relevance

In an official discussion, you should not talk about the slaughter. This concept is inappropriate, but due to its original meaning it is also hyperbolic. Business partners will be surprised that you consider the relationship with them painful, and the teacher may be offended by the student’s statement about the victim in the form of attending classes.

But in a private conversation, the definition will help to briefly convey the entire spectrum of emotions, convey to the interlocutor experiences or indicate that he himself exaggerates the problem. Feel free to include in the lexicon!
