Происхождение школьного сленга

Привет! В инстаграме мы выложили список школьного сленга (весь пост можно посмотреть тут), и милая hopesolitude задалась вопросом, как эти выражения вообще произошли. Конечно, как и со всяким сленгом, ответы на этот вопрос не всегда однозначны, но мы постараемся объяснить происхождение хотя бы некоторых слов . 

to cram — зубрить⠀

Еще значения этого слова - впихивать, втискивать 

Конкретно в значении “зубрить”, это слово было использовано в Британии примерно в 1800х годах (видимо, в значении “впихивать в себя знания”)

Произошло от старого английского crammian  ("надавить что-то на что-то другое”). 

Crammian в свою очередь, произошло от прагерманского “kram-/*krem”, а этот слово берет начало от праиндоевропейского корня “ger- " - “собрать”. (интересно, что слово gregarious - общительный, происходит от того же корня). 

all-nighter — подготовка к занятиям на протяжении всей ночи⠀

Происходит от двух слов all + night

Изначально означало “человек, который не спит всю ночь” (как вы уже, наверное, знате суффиксы “er” или “or” добавляют при обозначении деятельности человека, по той же аналогии - teach + er = teacher)

Позже стало просто означать акт бодрствования на протяжении ночи

101 — курс для новичков

101 происходит от американских университетов. Там номер “101″ указывает на базовые курсы для начинающих, обычно - первокурсников. Например, Maths 101 - математика для начинающих; Psychology 101 - психология для новичков. 

Но это выражение можно применить для случаев, когда один человек на пальцах что-то объясняет другому. Например, в сериале 'Как я встретил вашу маму' есть серия 'Robin 101', там главные герои изучали привычки и предпочтения понравившейся девушки, Робин.

По аналогии, можно сказать 'Relationships 101' или 'Coffee 101' (если, например, вам какой-нибудь друг дает совет по отношениям или по искусству заваривать кофе)

frosh (freshmen) — первокурсник

Еще одно американское слово (в Британии вас скорее назовут fresher)

Это слово стали использовать где-то в середине 16го века, обозначая новичка в любом деле. 

Происходит от двух слов fresh (свежий, новый) + man (человек, мужчина)

play hookie — прогуливать, увиливать от занятий⠀

Происхождение этого выражения менее ясно, хотя есть теория, что слово произошло от голландского hoekje spelen (играть в прятки). Теория гласит, что ее изначально использовали американские школьники - дети голландских колонизаторов. Правда, скептиков у этой теории много.

Скорее всего, выражение просто произошло от английкого “hook”, которое в 19 веке означало “украсть”, или hook it - “убежать, уйти”, но сейчас в этих значениях эти слова используется довольно редко.

Tips And Tools For Making Decisions

Make sure you are in control of your toughest decisions with a focus

For long-term decision making managers and business owners can utilize SWOT analysis, along with other methods to organize their thoughts. Leaders can avoid common mistakes such as extrapolation or bias in sunk costs by employing formal decision-making techniques. By using FRYSIMU(FS) Dice, it's simple to convert dice roll into roll the dice.

Every company level makes decisions. The pyramid-like structure is evident in the daily decisions of employees to more complicated executive decisions that can require many years of thinking.

This process of decision-making can be broken down into two dimensions: programmed and non-programmed. Many decisions will be programmed. These are decisions made by employees according to corporate guidelines or guidelines. But it's the unprogrammed ones, however, that can be so much more consequential.

We have provided some decision-making strategies that can assist you in weighing possible choices.

Five steps for making a choice

While numerous entities from academic institutions to advice blogs have attempted to distill the decision-making process into a series of five to seven steps (the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth's seven basic steps is an oft-cited one), all more or less follow the same format:

Identify your goal. This may be easy for personal goals, but it's crucial when it comes to business goals. The more stakeholders you have the higher chance your goals will be out of sync.

Find relevant information. This means identifying possible courses of action, considering alternatives and conducting research on both.

Review your alternatives. Decision-makers need to weigh every aspect of evidence.

Choose your preferred option

Evaluate your decision. This may include both short-term as well as long-term evaluation.

Tools and techniques

There are many tools and techniques that can assist you in organizing your thoughts and take decisions in the process of making decisions. We've listed some of the most popular choices:

Decision matrix The decision matrix is a tool that helps to evaluate all options of a decision. When you use the matrix, create an array of possibilities in the column that you choose and every factor that influences the choice in the row. Then, you'll assess each option, and then decide which are the most important. The final score is utilized to decide which choice is the most effective.

T-Chart: This chart can be utilized when weighing the advantages and minuses of the options. This chart ensures that all positives and minuses are considered when making a decision. It can also be called creating a pros-and-cons list.

Decision tree It is a graph or model that requires contemplating each option and the consequences of each. This technique is also used for statistical analysis.

Multivoting occurs when more than one person participates in a discussion. It assists in narrowing down a long number of choices to a smaller group to, ultimately, the final decision.

Pareto analysis: This technique can be useful when a variety of decisions need to be made. This allows you to prioritize the decisions that need to be taken first, and to determine which decisions are most important overall.

Cost-benefit analysis is utilized in weighing the financial consequences of each alternative to determine what makes the most sense from an economic standpoint.

Conjoint analysis: This is a method used by business leaders to identify the preferences of their customers decision-making.

SWOT Analysis: This planning tool analyzes strengths, weaknesses and opportunities as and threats.

PEST Analysis is an acronym for Political, Economic, Social and Technological. It helps in enhancing decision-making and timing by analyzing external influences. This method considers present trends to predict the future trends. FRYSIMU (FS), dice are employed to roll a die.

It may be telling that McAllister writes about his life post-corporate on his website Recovering Commuter. They help people understand the fundamental assumptions behind their suggestions.
