The cattle is who? The general and modern meaning of this word

Hello friends! Today we have a lesson in Russian with you. We will consider the significance of one of the oldest words, which in our time enjoys great popularity among various kinds of citizens. We'll talk about the meaning of the word "cattle". This is a polysemantic term, interpreted by each of us in different ways. Let's look at all the options for interpreting this questionable term and find out whether we correctly understand its meaning, which we sometimes try to convey to one or another opponent.

Cattle: the meaning of the word

In general, in translation from the Polish language, this word means working cattle . However, since ancient times it has been actively used in relation to people and to designate a submissive and weak-willed "herd" of slaves . In the 19th century the landlords called this word their peasants.

Cattle - this is not even a feature of the lexicon! This is not some kind of behavior of people in society. It's something abstract. For cattle, one factor always remains important: submissiveness to someone, constant submission to someone's will. In other words, he must have a leader, a commander. Cattle is a "vegetable". It can not live on its own. Therefore, to lose the owner is the worst thing that can happen to cattle, friends!

The phenomenon of cattle denies the human person, dignity and property. Of course, all freedom is also denied. The cattle will simply be lost at large, as it is not accustomed to earning on its own, and also does not know how to assume any responsibility (including for one's own life). The most interesting thing is that education, social status, income level, education do not matter!

All of the above is a well-known and complete concept of the term "cattle". Its only meaning has been divided in our time into several subsidiaries belonging to certain personalities. So, what do we put into this word today?

Who are people, cattle:

1. Remember the groupings of the 90s. Pumped shaven-headed "bulls", obeying the will of any authority, did not allow people to pass through the markets. So these very "bulls" in sports suits, physically strong and aggressive, which are easily controlled by the authoritative opinion of the "master", and there is rednecks in one of the modern understandings. Other words that are semantically similar in this context are "morons", "scumbags" .
2. Another ultramodern meaning of the word under consideration tells us about the following. Cattle is any creature in the human shell. Moreover, it (the creature) is deprived of the mind, as well as spiritually poor, which, in turn, causes its unpredictable and disgusting behavior towards the broad masses (insulting citizens). These people are social dregs (and at their own volition). Anti-social behavior is their main "weapon". Hence the language of force is the main "means of struggle" with this "evil spirits".

So, friends, we have fully considered the basic meaning of this unpleasant word, and also learned about its semantic derivatives. I hope that each of you, when he called this or that person cattle, did it consciously! But anyway, I wish you never to utter this word! Good luck!
