Gad - what kind of word is this? How to identify a slippery person?

People are used to the fact that a reptile is first and foremost an abuse. For example, a person does not approve of his neighbor's behavior and says: "Yes, he's a bastard, he stole from the building and puts it in his dacha!" But this word has a different meaning, which we will analyze with great pleasure. It is now slightly outdated, that is, they are rarely used.

Value

Gad is a definition that does not contain too much sense. He has only two values. So they call:

1. All sorts of cold-blooded reptiles.
2. A man of bad, bad, unkind, unreliable in a moral sense.

With the values all more or less clear. More interesting is another: why did the bastards fall into such disgrace to a man, why are animals so insulted and compared to not the best people? It's very simple: a reptile is someone who, maybe, least of all looks like us. Therefore, its appearance seems disgusting to us, although this is not at all the case. Animal lovers adore all creatures, though, even the unmatched Ace Ventura has its exceptions.

Synonyms

To the first, as well as to the second value, it is possible to select quite a lot of synonyms. Since the definition of "reptiles" is quite extensive, first of all you can replace the vague "reptile" with a specific name of the animal: a toad, a frog, a snake, a snail. The reader certainly understands that the list in this sense can be almost infinite.

The next possible replacement of the first meaning of the word "reptile" is "reptile". In the same row are the characteristics of "amphibian" and "reptile". Note that "amphibian man" is not a curse, but the name of a wonderful science fiction novel by Alexander Belyaev, who, despite everything, is not outdated and still reads in one breath. And now imagine that we replaced the name and wrote "man-bastard." Science fiction did not happen. From such a headline blows the spirit of pessimism and frustration in man. Now this is more a philosophical treatise. However, we are distracted. The moral of the example is that not all synonyms are equally useful. Watch the context when you change one to another.

On the second meaning and battery of synonyms for him to talk separately.

List of decent curses

So, when we talk about a man not too good, how can he be described in addition to being a bastard? Please:

• Cheesy.
• Unkind.
• Ugly.
• Slippery.
• Nasty.
• The Piggy.
• Prochechelyga.
• Swindler.
• Proidocha.
• The Dodger.

We omitted on this list too coarse, obscene, indecent and single-root words, leaving only those that are not a sin to show people. In any case, what is already on the list is enough for the reader to cheerfully chew, if he, of course, wants it.

How to recognize a slippery person?

What qualities distinguish the representative of the earthly race from the general background, which deserves to be described as a "slippery person"? Its pretty easy to find out. Character traits are as follows:

• Dvoedushie, hypocrisy.
• Falsity.
• Adaptability.
• There are no clear convictions and principles.
• Selfishness or eccentricity.
• Instrumental attitude to people.
• He pursues only his own interests.
• Willingness to sacrifice others without a shadow of a doubt.

The devil may be more, but enough of these to understand who is in front of you. Not necessarily all the positions in the character should be present, but if the person notices: his friend likes to please, to brag, he constantly changes his opinion and point of view, then, most likely, he is a slippery person. With these types of better keep your ears open and always be on your guard.

Vile and his replacement

To the question of a slippery person is the need to diversify the adjective "vile", a synonym for him already on all the pairs hastens to appear before the eyes of the reader. Of course, there will be no surprises here.

• Disgusting.
• Nasty.
• The Piggy.
• Rude (only in a certain manner).
• Unclean.
• Dirty
• The vile

As you can see, replace the definition of "vile", a synonym for it, in other words, it is not difficult. The main thing is to understand what exactly a person wants to express, and to observe the harmony of replacement.

The language has its own dynamics, logic and periods of life. Today it is almost impossible to meet people who use the word "reptile" in the sense of "reptile". Now they are increasingly cussing. And here it is absolutely impossible to understand why people forgot the first meaning of the word, maybe because they no longer want to offend the animals, comparing them to people?

The bizarre and perceptive symbolism of the cartoon "Aladdin" (1992)

For a long time I had to think about how to choose an example so that it would be remembered. It was necessary that the first and second meaning of the word "reptile" merged in it. The answer is to be found: this is the character of the cartoon "Aladdin" (1992) - Jafar.

The plot is well remembered, of course, but nevertheless, in order for the narrative not to break up, it should be described in at least a couple of words.

Jafar is the evil and treacherous chief vizier of the Sultan. He wants more than anything in the world to find a lamp with a genie who will fulfill his three desires. The lamp is in the Cave of Wonders. The catch is that anyone can get it out of there, but only "unripe diamond" is a person with a pure soul. As the reader understands, this is Aladdin.

In the cartoon a lot of things happen, but the main thing is that Jafar gets a jinn service for a short time and becomes a powerful wizard himself. And then the most important thing happens for us in the context of the topic: Jafar turns into a snake and thus embodies its essence. The outer merges with the internal, Jafar, after all, is a creeping creep in all respects (both a snake and a man so-so). Who knows, did the creators know about such a deep sense of the image. As it seems, such things happen on an unconscious level.

Of course, the hero eventually defeats the villain, and everything ends well. Let the reader not worry. As for the immediate topic, it is exhausted.
