Is there an allusion to "bragging B"? What is this?

Not just bragging. B there are allusions!

Bragging: from the butcher. In the past (and now), after killing pigs and sheep, the butcher would cut a small mouth on the leg of pigs and sheep near the hoof, put an iron bar in it and poke it, then put his mouth together and blow hard into it until the pigs and sheep were swollen. This will be very convenient when peeling, and the skin will crack by itself with a slight pull with a knife. It's called blowing pigs or blowing sheep. It's bragging that you deal with cattle like this.

But when slaughtering cattle, butchers rarely use this method, because cattle are huge, with tough skin and little subcutaneous fat. To blow up the whole cow, it is very human to have an extremely strong diaphragm and a huge lung capacity. Anyone who says he can brag is 99.9999 percent "bragging"!

"Bragging" is also called "bragging", but people who don't know its origin will call it "bragging B" or "cow B" in order to further strengthen its derogatory meaning; Because this last word is often replaced by "X" in writing, some people now call "bragging" "awesome".

When people "brag", they often look aggressive. On this basis, people describe prosperous people and things as "real cows" (greatness). The "bull" in the stock market "bull market" and "bear market" does not come from this. When the stock market rises, the trend curve will rise upwards, shaped like the outline of a bull with its head held high; When falling, the curve bends downward, similar to the drooping back of a bear's bow.

However, although the origin of "cow" and "real cow" in "bull market" is different, they are the same in terms of "prosperous wealth".

And wrangling and 250

Cheap: It is said that it comes from the deep mountains and forests in Northeast China. A long time ago, if people there had an argument and were deadlocked, they would tie a wooden barbell to a tree and carry it on their shoulders. Which side can't support the collapse, even if it loses.

Of course, this shows the simplicity of the villagers, but if you think deeply, you will find that this practice is actually in line with the law of the jungle. In such an environment, survival is the last word; And to survive, it depends on physical strength, not spitting. What's the use of dragging a mule or a horse out for a walk? Even if the mouth has the upper hand, it is no use without real survival strength!

Bargaining, hehe, its meaning is deep and wide!

250: In ancient times, a piece of silver was 520, and 250 was exactly half a seal, which was called "half crazy".

It's not crazy at all. It's understandable to act according to the rules and follow them reasonably, even if they cheat occasionally. Such people are not terrible. All this is crazy, crazy, absurd, with obvious signs. People hide away at first sight, or lock him up, so the harm is limited, so it is not terrible. The most terrible thing is half madness. Say crazy or not, say not crazy. Because it is half crazy, it is not enough to be locked up; Because half of them are not crazy, people often lose their vigilance; And madness, rationality, discipline and level make people hard to prevent and have nowhere to hide. There is a saying: politicians with artistic temperament are the most difficult to deal with because they often don't play by the rules. This sentence is not difficult to understand if you know that artists are gifted lunatics.

There's another story about the origin of "250": one hanging earns 500 yuan, and 250 is "half hanging". But this statement is not reliable, because a hanging money is 1000 yuan, not 500 yuan.

There is another saying: Chang 'an's "mayor" scene in the Tang Dynasty was very powerful, and there was a huge ceremonial team when he went on patrol. The beadle escorting the way in front was originally a member, whose official name was "Drinking Wu Bai", with a long pole in his hand, driving the pioneers. Later, Wu Bai was added as two members, but Chang 'an people did not call them "Wu Bai" with two Wu Bai, so everyone called them "250"; Because each of them has a long pole in his hand, it is also called two poles. So "two hundred and fifty" and "two stalks" have become synonymous with reckless, rude and rude people. This statement is very old. I think I'll be glad to hear it. But I think there are too many bends in it, which is a bit far-fetched.
