If Jupiter was in the ascendant when you were born, you are of a jovial disposition ; and if you’re not jovial but miserable and saturn ine that’s a disaster, because a disaster is a dis-astro , or misplaced planet . Disaster is Latin for ill-starred .
📚🔔 Tatil zili çaldı!
Bir yıl boyunca verilen emeklerin ardından şimdi dinlenme, keşfetme ve yeni maceralara atılma zamanı. 🌞
Bu yaz bol kahkahalı, bol anılı ve elbette bol kitaplı geçsin. Tüm öğrencilere keyifli tatiller diliyoruz! 💙📖
The lords owned all the land but peasants were granted portions of it to work for themselves. The peasant would then work his own little plot and the lord’s. The bigger the peasant’s plot, the longer he had to work the fields of the lord who had granted it to him. This system, abolished by Emperor Josef II in 1848, was called robot .
Seventy - two years later, in 1920, a Czech fellow called Karel Čapek was writing a play. It was a rather spooky, futuristic piece about a factory that produced willing servants out of biological matter. The play was performed under the title RUR: Rossum’s Universal Robots and was such a success that the word arrived in English two years later.
European buffalo used to get killed and skinned and the leather that resulted was therefore known as buff , or buffe leather . This leather was very useful for polishing, which is why we still buff things until they shine. When something has been properly buffed it looks good, and from that we get the idea that people who spend too much time at the gym running around like crazed gerbils are buff .
If you arrange a group of people and give each one a particular job, you are, metaphorically, making them act together like the organs of a body. You are organising them. Thus an organisation : something in which each person, like each organ of the body, has a particular task.
Shit can be traced back to the Old English verb scitan (which meant exactly what it does today), and further back to Proto - Germanic skit (the Germans still say scheisse ), and all the way to the Proto - Indo - European word (c. 4000 BC) skhei , which meant to separate or divide , presumably on the basis that you separated yourself from your faeces. Shed (as in shed your skin ) comes from the same root, and so does schism .
