The kid is quite popular today.day is a term, but not everyone understands what meaning it carries in itself. Before trying to understand the meaning of this expression, as well as the relevance of its use in each particular case, I would like to plunge into history. So, the word "boy" firmly entered the lexicon in the early 30s of the last century. Its origin is closely connected with places that are not so remote - this is prison jargon. To date, there are two versions of the appearance of this term. We will talk about them in more detail.
The origin of the word "boy" is associated with the Hebrewby the people. This is probably the most common, but quite annoying version for real kids. It is toward her that most linguists in our country are inclined. So, she says that the word "kid" comes from the common Jewish curse word "pots". From Yiddish, it translates as "penis". It is with this word that many experts associate the term “price”, which was later transformed into the more familiar to Russians in terms of the sound - “boy”. This is a verbal personification of an underdeveloped genital organ. Do you still want to proudly wear the title of a real kid?
The spread of this term acquired thanks to Odessa thieves, so they began to call inexperienced, young thieves and street children.
Some linguists adhere to the fact that"kid" is a word of Ukrainian origin, which has nothing to do with Jews. It is derived from the exclamation "Pats-Pats" - this is how they call pigs in Ukraine. What is a kid in Ukrainian? It turns out that this is the person who most often communicates with pigs, that is, the swineherse is thus the real kid.
Which version is correct, everyone decides for himself.
What is a "boy" in the modern sense?Nowadays, many boys dream to proudly wear the title of "real cool kid," the word itself has a special meaning. Today, the boy is not the one who wears jeans, a cool jacket and hat, this is a representative of the yard subculture, a guy who lives according to the laws of the street and concepts. What are "concepts"? This word is from prison jargon, which is a set of certain unwritten rules and norms that prisoners invented to exist in confined spaces.
Ну и наконец, мы подошли к главному вопросу:how to be a real kid? What needs to be done in order to gain credibility among the yard boys? If you understand the essence of the concept, a clear picture should appear in front of you, it only remains to understand what actions need to be taken.
Of course, the word "kid" has a prisonorigin, but in the modern sense in order to carry this title, it is not necessary to sit at bus stops, fearing passersby. It is no longer fashionable to offend the weak, to attack them, imposing their notions. Try to learn from this term only the best and bring to your life. Today, only a brave, strong, decent young man can count on the title of a real kid.
Many experts are confident that in the near futuretime the fashion for "real kids" will pass, after a while no one will remember their existence. Having a deadline today is not fashionable. Look around: many criminals have gone into business, become philanthropists, allocate huge amounts of money to charity. Here you have a clear confirmation of the current trend. The once attractive mass of Gopnik will become a mass of ordinary inhabitants with base and petty-bourgeois concepts that no one needs and is not interested in.
So decide for yourself whether you need this status - the title of a real kid. Perhaps it is better to be a decent, responsible and empathetic person with your values?
