Breakthrough on the nose 🪓

Breakthrough on the nose 🪓

Let's see - what is the connection between the nose and the cut? It seems cruel, but in reality it is a memory.

In the old days, "nose" was called not only a part of the face, but also a wooden board - the one on which notes were written. In order not to forget something, grooves were made in it, and they said: "a groove on the nose" - remember, mark.

Later, the meaning changed: "nose" became his own, human, and "hack to death" was simply well remembered.

Today we no longer carry tablets in our laps, but we still "notice" what is important or what has hurt us.
