Almonds are the fruit of a small tree; they can be sweet and bitter. Sweet almonds have an extremely pleasant smell and taste. It goes well with chocolate. Chocolate with almonds is one of the most favorite delicacies of millions of people on our planet. So tasty! So sweet! So ... cloying! And each of us at least once in my life heard: “Do not be so aloof with them!” So, the topic of today's publication will be devoted to the word "almond", the meaning of which we will consider in detail.
Two options
Note that this word is used in two situations:
- First of all, to be foolish is to show a careful and tender attitude towards someone who clearly does not deserve it. Almond can be with the enemy.
- Secondly, you can linger with a feigned feeling of tenderness and excessive sentimentality.
Moreover, in the first case, they are almonds "in white gloves", that is, a person deliberately understands that he is an unworthy person, but a reluctance to be rude, harsh, ill-bred leads him to this kind of behavior. As for the second case, we note that here the situation is exactly the opposite. A "talking" person pretends to be, and therefore a hypocrite.
Set of values
Phrases of this type are used as a characteristic or even a verdict of what is happening:
- Stop messing around! - Enough to embellish. - Stop lying. - Stop making concessions. - Stop ceremonial. - Enough of delicacy. - Stop cooing. - Enough to suck.
With each of the above phrases, one word is comparable - “to be almond”, which speaks of its wide possibility of use both in colloquial speech and in literature.
Today
“Almond” is the word to whom you could apply today? Of course, there are many examples. Here, for example, to the major. We will not give a definition to this modern "term." Each of us understands who they are.
They are not killers, they are not thieves, they are just children. In this case, there is one significant “but.” So, they are not ordinary children, but children of successful parents, who at one time went through a lot to gain power, money, influence. The whole world is at the disposal of the majors. And parents zealously guard their children. The collective image of the major is an impudent, masterful, but rather useless type. And we, and they know and understand very well that the merits of their parents are not a reason to seem someone special. But, in spite of this fact, they continue to be almondy with them. Maybe some time should pass. Majors, as they say, “can outgrow”, become adults, and possibly quite normal people. Who knows…
