Сегодня две статьи на непрограммистские темы.


Weather

About Weather
If you feel under the weather, you don’t feel very well, and if you make heavy weather of something you make it more difficult than it needs to be. Someone with a sunny disposition is always cheerful and happy, but a person with his head in the clouds does not pay much attention to what is going on around him. To have a place in the sun is to enjoy a favourable position, and to go everywhere under the sun is to travel all over the world. Someone who is under a cloud is in disgrace or under suspicion, and a person who is snowed under with work has too much work to do. A person who is no fun at all is a wet blanket. Someone dreamy, sentimental, romantic is moon-struck or starry-eyed. You don’t have a foggiest idea when you are completely in the dark about something when a project gets bigger and bigger, it snowballs. Everything is absolutely correct – it’s right as rain. To skate on thin ice is to be in a dangerous or a risky situation. To save something for a rainy day is to put some money aside for when it is needed.
Finally everyone knows that it never rains but it pours, that problems and difficulties always come together. But every cloud has a silver lining that is to say – every misfortune has a good side.

– How do you find the weather in London?
– You don’t have to find the weather in London. It bumps into you at every corner.

Food

It’s a Piece of Cake!
Or, in other words, it’s very easy! There are quite a few expressions in English which are based on English food.
If you’re in the soup, you’re in trouble. But you’re not very intelligent if you’re half-baked. Bread is a slang expression for money, and wanting jam on it means you want some luxuries as well as the basic things in life. If you know which side your bread is buttered on, you know when you are well off. An old salt is a sailor, but if you take something with a pinch of salt you doubt whether it is true. If you are as keen as mustard, you’re very enthusiastic about something, but if it’s not your cup of tea, you don’t like it very much. When you sugar the pill, you disguise the unpleasant part of something and if a thing is sugary, it is too sentimental. A person who is worth his salt is a good worker, but someone who is saucy is rather impudent. If you cook your goose, you ruin your chances, and if you cook the books, you falsify the accounts. Finally, a storm in a teacup is a lot of fuss about nothing.

Smile:
Movie related foods (Milk Duds, Buttered Popcorn, Junior Mints, Red Hots, Tootsie Rolls, etc.) do not have additional calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one's personal fuel.
