CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Breaking an appointment is called "standing up"?

1. Breaking an appointment is called "standing up"?

It may originate from the lottery in old Shanghai, commonly known as "white pigeon ticket", which usually goes away but never comes back. It may also be the painful lesson learned by the men who raise pigeons in old Beijing, that the pigeons will never come back once they are released - there are people who specialize in wrapping other people's pigeons waiting there.

The real origin is: in ancient times, people used pigeons to communicate. Once, two people agreed to write to me at a certain time. But one of them only released a pigeon and did not write a letter. The other said, why did you only release the pigeon? You did not fulfill your promise. And so the pigeon was released.

The Origin of Releasing Doves at the Opening Ceremony

At the opening ceremony of the 1st Athens Olympic Games, doves, a symbol of peace, spread their wings and flew in the stadium. The scene was spectacular and the atmosphere was lively and enthusiastic. The story of doves as a symbol of peace comes from the Bible: Before God sent a flood to destroy the world, he ordered Noah to build an ark and let him take his family and various animals on earth to take shelter. After 40 days, the flood receded. Noah released a crow to inquire about the news, but the crow never returned. Noah released a dove again to detect the flood. The dove flew back with an olive leaf in its mouth. Noah learned that the flood on earth had receded and everything was safe. In 1920, the International Olympic Games decided to release doves at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Since then, this has become a traditional ceremony that has been followed to this day.

I find that what I can't stand the most is when someone stands me up or is not punctual. No matter who stood me up or what the reason is, I can't get over it for a long time! It seems that I am a little narrow-minded!

I've been stood up a lot lately. I looked it up in the dictionary out of boredom, but I couldn't find this word. I don't know who coined it.

Why do we use "releasing pigeons" instead of "releasing sparrows" or "releasing orangutans"? We guess that it comes from carrier pigeons. Carrier pigeons are pigeons of trust. If you release your carrier pigeons, and nothing goes wrong, the carrier pigeons will definitely deliver the letter to the recipient and then write back to you. Of course, something goes wrong when the pigeons are trapped, cooked and eaten, or kept separately and not allowed to fly. The point is, the pigeons can't come back, and the pigeons' trust, which was originally a sure thing, is gone.

That's it!! I was so upset that I actually used pigeons to vent my anger. What a sin! Pigeons are innocent, just blame the coiner. Don't call it releasing pigeons next time, call it releasing rats and cockroaches or something like that, it will be smoother. After writing it, it seems that Doudou has become smaller, haha!

Standing up a prostitute is to use sex appeal to seduce the prostitute and then conduct other illegal activities. It is not simply prostitution, but a way to gain greater benefits through prostitution. There are many types of this, such as using sex appeal to seduce and then rob, steal, etc., and blackmail.

This is the earliest meaning

Now it still has two meanings.

1 For "agreement", it means not to do things according to the "agreement".

2 is the police term

3. Why is breaking a promise called “standing up”?

There are at least three theories about the origin of pigeon-releasing: 1. It originated from the lottery tickets in old Shanghai, commonly known as "white pigeon tickets", which usually never come back. It may also be the painful lesson of the old Beijing pigeon-raising men. Once the pigeons are released, they will not come back - there are people who specialize in wrapping other people's pigeons waiting there. The real origin is: in ancient times, people used pigeons to communicate. Once two people agreed to write to me at that time. But one of them only released the pigeons and did not write a letter. The other person said, why do you only release the pigeons? You don't keep your promise. The pigeon-releasing came like this. 2. The original meaning refers to the act of luring other people's precious pigeons. The specific method is to train a special "decoy pigeon". When others release pigeons, release your own "decoy pigeons" and mix them into the pigeon flock. The "decoy pigeon" will deceive the pigeon flock to lose their way and lead them back to the pigeon cage of the thief. Later, the meaning of this word was extended and became a synonym for breach of contract and fraud. 3. In old Shanghai, a scam was to take away the victim's property in the name of a woman who wanted to be a nanny or concubine. This was called "letting the victim go" in the underworld.

4. What are some good ways to deal with cockroaches?

1. Root cause treatment measures

Wherever the environment is dirty and messy, cockroaches are rampant. Therefore, maintaining good hygiene and managing the environment are fundamental measures. To kill indoor cockroaches, we must first maintain good hygiene and eliminate cockroach habitats, widely carry out plugging holes and grouting seams and "eight inspections" activities, and remove cockroach habitats and egg sheaths and cockroach traces. Cockroach traces refer to insect corpses, remaining limbs, bodies, wings, molting, cockroach feces, empty egg sheaths, etc. "Eight inspections" refer to: one inspection of tables, two inspections of cabinets, three inspections of chairs, four inspections of mouths (sewer mouths), five inspections of pools (washing pools), six inspections of cases (food processing cutting boards), seven inspections of seams, and eight inspections of piles (coal piles, firewood piles, and miscellaneous piles). Cockroaches like to dig holes and hide in seams. Taking advantage of this living habit of pests, you can use putty, cement or silica gel to plug gaps and caves, leaving cockroaches with no place to hide. For kitchens with severely damaged interior wall structures and old furniture, to eliminate cockroaches, you must thoroughly repair the house and update the furniture.

2. Reasonable spraying to kill cockroaches

Cockroaches often live and hide in cracks and holes, so when using a sprayer to spray pesticides, be sure to spray cracks, holes, corners, and spray around them. This will have a good spraying effect and save pesticides. Cockroaches are reptiles, so when spraying pesticides to kill cockroaches, do not spray in the air, and do not spray all four walls.

3. Tips for placing poison bait to kill cockroaches

Placing poison bait is a common and simple method to kill cockroaches, but it should be used properly. The trick is "small amount, many points, and wide area", that is, more poison points in a room, less medicine at each point, and wider distribution area. In this way, cockroaches can eat poison bait when they crawl out of their habitats, and the killing effect is obvious. In order to prevent the poison bait from becoming ineffective due to moisture, it is advisable to place the poison erbium particles in the bottle cap. Use chalk containing insecticide to draw on the cockroach activity site. Around the cracks, holes and corners where cockroaches live and where they often move, use the medicine pen to draw circles or "wells" so that cockroaches will be poisoned to death when they enter and exit. The painted line should not be too thin, but should be a thick line of 2-3 cm.
