Pont Euxine - the ancient name of the Black Sea.Apparently, it was inspired by the Greeks, which has always been a lot in the southern city of Odessa, denoted by the word "bluff" something big and produces an unforgettable impression.
from the Odessa dialect expression migrated to the great and mighty Russian language, have spread throughout the former Soviet Union.Its meaning has not changed."A good bluff more money ',' the Ponte under an umbrella, and the rain" and other statements winged inhabitants of Odessa became popular in Vladivostok, in Brest, in the Saratov and Murmansk.What is the meaning of this concept?And why were more likely to use the word in the plural?
the language of science, we can say that show-off - is techniques to create an exaggerated idea of the prosperity, opportunities, beauty, and other factors of attractive accompanying person.It uses the expression most often in an ironic sense, as those who actually has real advantages, as a rule, they have no need to exaggerate.Simply put, show-off - is a necessary measure for those who can not boast of wealth or power, but wants to look very, very influential, and as they say in Odessa, "sarmachnym."You can not be - to know how to look.Such a position is rarely sympathy after its discovery.
What are the young people to show-off?Girls to get.Especially those who want to meet with representatives of the "golden youth".Ways "pontovatsya" there are many.For example, give a company car for private, show off knowledge of techniques and expensive brands of clothing to show "Rolex" on the wrist, forgetting to clarify that it is - Chinese forgery.
But not only young people use these techniques.In adulthood their show-off.Cheap Ponte age increases the cost.To arrive at a business meeting at a prestigious foreign car;late, hint that fresh from the airport, and complained that the flight from Monaco again detained;accidentally "lit up" picture, which shows a close Celebrity - these are just a few examples.In fact, almost the whole life of a modern establishment and the so-called "creative elite" in a sense, is built on the Ponte.
However, show-off - is not only trying to look richer and more abruptly.In the world of high politics sometimes there are situations when you need to cry poverty and simply show the proximity to the simple working people.In these cases, the millionaires and billionaires even suddenly find themselves in salons used "Lada" or give interviews, sitting behind a poor but dignified table set against the backdrop of a touching wall carpet.Sometimes these "antiponty" are very convincing.Underlining his modesty and nationality, they are trying to convince the electorate that the needs of the average voter is not alien to them, and only the occasional leak allow to judge their true attitude to the "masses", in political jargon most often referred to as biomass.
However, any hypocrisy is exposed sooner or later."Ponty - that's all" - people say, and after this sentence there is no faith, neither those who are trying to instill their own importance, or those who wanted to show their simplicity.
