To take for a ride"": value of a phraseological unit, examples and synonyms

Phraseological units began to be used actively in the daily speech. Their ability to make any conversation more juicy, painted in colors of the rainbow, it is impossible to overestimate. Some phraseological units sound a little archaically today, others are adapted for a youth slang. But they equally are of particular importance for daily competent communication.

He shoots all breeze and fools people!

The phrase "is rather simple to take for a ride" and is applied quite often in informal conversation. It with success is used by all age categories. But if with the word "head" everything is clear, then with the word "fool" not absolutely. To understand what it is about, it is required to remember an obsolete word of "troubles". It means "twilight", "fog", "darkness". In the Urals and in Siberia since ancient times there is an expression: "Carried by a cloud to troubles". Therefore there is an assumption that this phraseological unit was born exactly here, because of the backward word of "troubles". It follows from this that "to fool" means to confuse, muddle, tell unclear and strange things. This phrase has also more serious value, namely: to lie, be turned out, get out. So in what cases of people resorts to similar actions?

Giving in to "trouble"

The first place can be given to the parents who are selflessly loving the child safely. As soon as the beloved child suspected that parents can easily "drive crazy", it will do it constantly. It is required considerable work to bring the little liar to "clear water", differently the big and pathological liar will grow up from the beautiful kid. Sometimes it is quieter to parents to accept "crazy" explanations of the growing-up idol, than to untangle a ball of outright children's lies. Of course, on it the loving mummies give in to a thicket, but it is more difficult to spend fathers in this case. Therefore the growing-up offspring hurries to offer an explanation of the negative actions of mother, but not to the father, knowing that that "will instantly get to the core" of it.

The second category which is giving in to "a trouble of the heads" are teachers of schools and teachers of higher educational institutions. How many they listen every day legends and fantastic stories that the question as they maintain such "shadow on a wattle fence" arises. Especially the intensity of emotions increases during passing of examinations by pupils. Sly fellows surpass itself all also at the same time. The contest committee of any theater can arrive and begin safely here enrollment of future actors in the institutions. Here it is possible to open really true actor's talents. Ignorance of answers to questions in the extended ticket is capable to reveal even in the most "clamped" students Faina Ranevskaya and Innokenti Smoktunovsky. And a story about "the died grandmothers" and "the run-away favourite cats and dogs" become large-scale. As if epidemic of "babushkomor" and "migration of pets" covers all during the session. One more entertaining detail. The humour of the teacher suddenly becomes "cool and sparkling", and his jokes which prior to a session did not raise even a faint smile (type, tell in what place to laugh), now blow up audience an amicable loud laughter. The teacher in a moment becomes the recognized comedian and the ingenious humorist.

Well both the third category, and the most "confused" are chiefs (small and large). Here are already involved "heavy weight". And "take for a ride", "brains soar" and "twist an ox" as subordinated to the chief, and the "small" administration to the "large" opponent. Everyone tries "to humbug" each other. Most often the unfair relation to the professional duties becomes the reason of this "nonsense". When there is, for example, a violation of terms of delivery of any given works, the real fight for "the powdered head" of the chief begins. Everything is used: promises, admonitions, "the address to the belief", at last, doubtful use of gender sign which is always more similar to "inappropriate (inept) harassment". Besides, in such cases the past experience with "the died grandmother" is remembered. Does not confuse "liar" even the fact that he is in quite old age, and therefore his grandmother then not just is a long-liver, and was "the ancestor who forgot to die in time" rather. Thus, "the trouble of the head" of the higher companion becomes the only weapon for own survival.

It is not difficult to deceive me, I to be deceived is glad!

There is one more category which can be characterized safely thus - "it is not difficult to deceive me, I to be deceived is glad!". Here generally women to whom their elects frankly "take for a ride" get. Of course, nobody cancels romantic making, but sometimes with the naked eye it is visible that the man treats this woman not seriously when she hopes for bigger. Harm from such actions really notable. The broken heart, fairly lost weight credit card and the become unproductive purse - here a result of when the woman dares to powder not a nose, and brains. So ruthlessly and prudently gigolos and marriage speculators behave. They intentionally "confuse" to the victims their fine heads, causing huge psychological and material damage.

Society often condemns those who lie, and those who give in on this lie. The intuition has to join. Internal protective reaction always guards the owner. However not seldom from it wave away, taking the doubts for uncertainty, fear, complex and still God knows, but only not for the internal intuitive hint that you "are taken for a ride". Here also it turns out as a result that "it is not difficult to deceive me, I to be deceived is glad!".
