pos: Trompe-l'œil in the form of "illusion painting", is also used in contemporary interior design, where illusionary wall paintings experienced a Renaissance since around 1980. Significant artists in this field are the German muralist Rainer Maria Latzke, who invented, in the 1990s, a new method of producing illusion paintings, frescography, and the English artist Graham Rust. Old Masters 19th century and modern masters Contemporary Trompe-l'œil Trompe-l'œil (French for "deceive the eye", pronounced ) is an art technique that uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects exist in three dimensions.

Forced perspective is a comparable illusion in architecture. Though the phrase, which can also be spelled without the hyphen and ligature in English as trompe l'oeil, originates in the Baroque period, when it refers to perspectival illusionism, trompe-l'œil dates much further back. It was (and is) often employed in murals. Instances from Greek and Roman times are known, for instance in Pompeii. A typical trompe-l'œil mural might depict a window,

neg: Trompe le Monde the title of the first track, "Trompe le Monde", a French phrase meaning "Fool the World". Unlike previous albums, the title of the album comes from the name of a song (rather than a song lyric), and is a play on the French phrase "Trompe-l'œil"—a painting technique in which the painter fools the viewer into thinking objects presented are real. "Head On" is a cover of the Jesus and Mary Chain track that was released as a single reaching number 6 in the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks Chart. "U-Mass" is a song about the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where Black

neg: Idiom Idiom An idiom (from , "special feature, special phrasing, a peculiarity", f. , "one's own") is a phrase or an expression that has a figurative, or sometimes literal, meaning. Categorized as formulaic language, an idiom's figurative meaning is different from the literal meaning. There are thousands of idioms, occurring frequently in all languages. It is estimated that there are at least twenty-five thousand idiomatic expressions in the English language. Many idiomatic expressions, in their original use, were not figurative but had literal meaning. Also, sometimes the attribution of a literal meaning can change as the phrase becomes disconnected from its

neg: Set phrase Set phrase A set phrase or fixed phrase is a phrase whose parts are fixed in a certain order, even if the phrase could be changed without harming the literal meaning. This is because a set phrase is a culturally accepted phrase. A set phrase does not necessarily have any literal meaning in and of itself. Set phrases may function as idioms (e.g. "red herring") or as words with a unique referent (e.g. "Red Sea"). There is no clear dividing line between a commonly used phrase and a set phrase. It is also not easy to draw a clear distinction

As in the English "fucking", the phrase can also be used as an adjective, as in the case of ""putanginang aso"" ("fucking dog") or ""Diyos ko, putanginang buhay ko!"" ("God, fuck my shitty life!") This non-literal meaning of the phrase "putang ina mo" has twice been affirmed by the Supreme Court of the Philippines: first in 1969 in its decision to "Rosauro Reyes v. The People of the Philippines" (G.R. № L-21528 and № L-21529), and then in 2006 in its decision to "Noel Villanueva v. People of the

Figure of speech A figure of speech or rhetorical figure is figurative language in the form of a single word or phrase. It can be a special repetition, arrangement or omission of words with literal meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on the literal meaning of the words. Figures of speech often provide emphasis, freshness of expression, or clarity. However, clarity may also suffer from their use, as figures of speech can introduce an ambiguity between literal and figurative interpretation. Classical rhetoricians

neg: The Fox and the Grapes of this transposition to the human situation hinges on the double meaning of 'unripe' ("vert") in French, which could also be used of a sexually immature female. From this emerges the story's subtext, of which a literal translation reads: There is the same sexual ambiguity in the Greek of Babrius. The phrase there is "όμφακες εισίν" ("omphakes eisin"), the word "omphax" having both the literal meaning of an unripe grape and the metaphorical usage of a girl not yet ripe for marriage. Rather than admit his failure to reach the grapes, the fox rationalises that they are not really desirable.

An idiom is an expression that has a figurative meaning unrelated to the literal meaning of the phrase. A pun is an expression intended for a humorous or rhetorical effect by exploiting different meanings of words. Prior to the 1980s, the "standard pragmatic" model of comprehension was widely believed. In that model, it was thought the recipient would first attempt to comprehend the meaning as if literal, but when an appropriate literal inference could not be made, the

Proverbial phrase: The straw that broke the camel's back. Proverbial phrase A proverbial phrase or a proverbial expression is type of a conventional saying similar to proverbs and transmitted by oral tradition. The difference is that a proverb is a fixed expression, while a proverbial phrase permits alterations to fit the grammar of the context. Another similar construction is an idiomatic phrase. Sometimes it is difficult to draw a distinction between idiomatic phrase and proverbial expression. In both of them the

neg: Geordie "howay" ("hurry up!"; "come on!") "Howay" is broadly comparable to the invocation "Come on!" or the French "Allez-y!" ("Go on!"). Examples of common use include "Howay man!", meaning "come on" or "hurry up", "Howay the lads!" as a term of encouragement for a sports team for example (the players' tunnel at St James' Park has this phrase just above the entrance to the pitch), or "Ho'way!?" (with stress on the second syllable) expressing incredulity or disbelief. The literal opposite of this phrase is "haddaway" ("go away"); although not as common as "howay", it is perhaps most commonly used in the

For example, the phrase "keep your breath to cool your porridge" is more likely to be a rebuke to mind your own business than literal advice at breakfast.

The exception to this rule is the pronghorn which sheds and regrows its horn sheath each year. They usually grow in symmetrical pairs. Antler comes from the Old French "antoillier " (see present French : "Andouiller", from" ant-, "meaning before," oeil, "meaning eye and" -ier", a suffix indicating an action or state of being) possibly from some form of an unattested Latin word "*anteocularis", "before the eye" (and applied to the word for "branch" or "horn").

neg: Comprehension of idioms literal language involved different kinds of processes. The non-compositional models of idiom comprehension were constructed based on this assumption. Non-compositional models in general assume that idioms are stored like long words in memory. For example, the entire phrase "kick the bucket" is represented by the meaning "to die". The words kick and bucket separately do not contribute to the idiomatic meaning. Since individual words do not matter in an idiomatic expression, they are thought to be processed together as one entity during comprehension. In contrast, processing a literal expression requires the meaning of each word to be derived and then

neg: Trumpet type, while some have the rotary type. The use of rotary-valved trumpets is more common in orchestral settings, although this practice varies by country. Each valve, when engaged, increases the length of tubing, lowering the pitch of the instrument. A musician who plays the trumpet is called a "trumpet player" or "trumpeter". The English word "trumpet" was first used in the late 14th century. The word came from Old French ""trompette"", which is a diminutive of "trompe". The word "trump", meaning "trumpet," was first used in English in 1300. The word comes from Old French "trompe" "long, tube-like musical wind

neg: Spanish Archer Spanish Archer Spanish Archer was a talent show hosted by Rhodri Williams and occasionally Ruth Madoc. It was produced by L!VE TV and filmed at the station's headquarters at Canary Wharf in London. The title for the show derives from the phrase meaning rejection, where "Spanish Archer" would be said to translate to "El Bow", hence "Given the elbow". The TV show deliberately took this in a very literal manner, and expanded the joke as far as it possibly could. The show would begin with Willams arriving on the set of a cartoon Spanish village, dressed in a Robin Hood

neg: Len de l'El French translation "loin de l'œil" meaning "far from the eye" with the synonym sometimes still seen on wine labels along with other alternative spellings. Wine expert Oz Clarke explains that the name refers to the position of the fruit in respect to the bud : the clustered grapes have long stalks that attach to the fruiting cane at a distance that is farther from the bud (or "eye", "oeil" in French) than most grape varieties. This explanation is supported by Gaillac wine growers and at least one French ampelography authority as well. Len de l'El is found virtually exclusively in

neg: You can't have your cake and eat it eaten, keeping possession of the cake is no longer possible, seeing that it is in your stomach (and no longer exists as a cake). Alternatively, the two verbs can be understood to represent a sequence of actions, so one can indeed "have" one's cake and then "eat" it. Consequently, the literal meaning of the reversed idiom doesn't match the metaphorical meaning. The phrase can also have specialized meaning in academic contexts; Classicist Katharina Volk of Columbia University has used the phrase to describe the development of poetic imagery in Latin didactic poetry, naming the principle behind the imagery's adoption and

neg: Litotes to admit it. Another typical example is "Ce n'est pas bête!" ("It's not stupid"), generally said to admit a clever suggestion without showing oneself as too enthusiastic. (As with all litotes, this phrase can also be used with its literal meaning that the thing is not stupid but rather may be clever or occupy the middle ground between stupid and clever.) One of the most famous litotes of French literature is in Pierre Corneille's "Le Cid" (1636). The heroine, Chimène, says to her lover Rodrigue, who just killed her father: "Va, je ne te hais point" ("Go, I hate you

neg: Connotation Connotation A connotation is a commonly understood cultural or emotional association that some word or phrase carries, in addition to its explicit or literal meaning, which is its denotation. A connotation is frequently described as either positive or negative, with regard to its pleasing or displeasing emotional connection. For example, a stubborn person may be described as being either "strong-willed" or "pig-headed"; although these have the same literal meaning ("stubborn"), "strong-willed" connotes admiration for the level of someone's will (a positive connotation), while "pig-headed" connotes frustration in dealing with someone (a negative connotation). "Connotation" branches into a mixture of different

neg: Lithuanian accentuation Lithuanian accentuation In the Lithuanian language, heavy syllables (those with stress) may be pronounced in one of two prosodically distinct ways that are determined by accent and pitch. One way is the "acute" or "falling" accent. It may be described as sudden, sharp or rough. The phrase, "tvirtaprãdė príegaidė" has the literal meaning, "firm-start accent". The second way is the "circumflex" or "rising" accent. It may be described as continued, mild or smooth. The word "tvirtagãlė" has the literal meaning, "firm-end". Short (or light) syllables may have stress without the differentiation of an accent. Heavy syllables distinguished by an accent

The Pro-Beijing Camps used ‘Wait for Uncle Fat’ as an excuse for their blunder, this phrase becomes a trendy slang soon. Other than derivative works, people also use this phrase in the daily life, especially when they are having conversation with others. The literal meaning is wait for uncle Fat, but the real meaning is want to shirk the responsibility. This is also a kind of sarcasm to this accident. Examples: 1.When we are being late: A: "Hey!

The political slogan, 'Good Government', was used in English-speaking countries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It appears in the Canadian political maxim "Peace, order and good government." Like many other political slogans, its meaning is not literal, but was constructed to express a specific partisan stance, rather than being a common phrase which acquired a more obscure meaning by public mental association. The phrase came into existence by those political groups who abhorred the results of the expansion of the political

neg: Cut and run Cut and run Cut and run or cut-and-run is an idiomatic verb phrase meaning to "make off promptly" or to "hurry off". The phrase originated in the 1700s as describing an act allowing a ship to make sail quickly in an urgent situation, either by cutting free an anchor or by cutting ropeyarns to unfurl sails from the yards on a square rig ship. Though initially referring to a literal act, the phrase was used figuratively by the mid-1800s in both the United States and England. The phrase is used as a pejorative in political language, implying a panicked and

neg: God is dead God is dead "God is Dead" (German: ; also known as the Death of God) is a widely quoted statement by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche used the phrase in a figurative sense, to express the idea that the Enlightenment had "killed" the possibility of belief in God or any gods having ever existed. Others, such as proponents of the strongest form of the Death of God theology have used the phrase in a literal sense, meaning that the Christian God who existed at one point, has ceased to exist. The phrase first appeared in Nietzsche's 1882 collection "The Gay

Idiomatically it translates into English as "Scotland forever" though the literal meaning of "gu bràth" in Gaelic is 'until Judgment'. The phrase is often used as a political slogan in the campaign for Scottish independence. The phrase is parallel to the Welsh language slogan "Cymru am byth" ("Wales forever") or the Irish

This is used interchangeably with God's Own County. The phrase later found sporadic use to describe several American regions. Most known is the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It was also used by the Confederate army to describe parts of Tennessee in the 1860s. The phrase was also used to describe California in the 1860s, and by Clement Laird Vallandigham to describe the land of the Mississippi plains. None of these

neg: Connotation meanings. These could include the contrast of a word or phrase with its primary, literal meaning (known as a denotation), with what that word or phrase specifically denotes. The connotation essentially relates to how anything may be associated with a word or phrase, for example, an implied value judgement or feelings. It is often useful to avoid words with strong connotations (especially pejorative or disparaging ones) when striving to achieve a neutral point of view. A desire for more positive connotations, or fewer negative ones, is one of the main reasons for using euphemisms. In logic and semantics, "connotation" is

Windows of this type are commonly found in the grand architecture of Baroque France. The term is also so often applied to similar round windows, like those found in Georgian architecture in Great Britain, and later Greek Revival and Colonial Revival styles in North America,

Because the phrase is used as a translation of a Spanish proverb with a different literal meaning ("muchas veces donde hay estacas no hay tocinos," literally: "often where there are hooks [for hanging hams] there are no hams"), it seems that the phrase was already considered proverbial in English at the time. The phrase next appears in a book of Scottish proverbs published in 1721, in the form "Every Man is no born with a Silver Spoon in his Mouth." John Galsworthy's novel, "The Forsyte Saga"

Windows of this type are commonly found in the grand architecture of Baroque France.

The history of the wine style dates back to the Middle Ages in the Champagne region of France and from there spread to the Canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland where it would become a popular dry rosé made from Pinot noir.

However, some idioms such as "wind from an empty cave" (, "kōng xué lái fēng", viz. "hot air") and "bare-faced facing the emperor" (, "sù miàn cháo tiān", viz.

neg: Apophasis the emperor, so we wouldn't dare to claim that his new clothes are a transparent hoax." As a rhetorical device, it can serve various purposes, often dependent on the relationship of the speaker to the addressee and the extent of their shared knowledge. Apophasis is rarely literal; instead, it conveys meaning through implications that may depend on this context. As an example of how meaning shifts, the English phrase "needless to say" invokes shared understanding, but its actual meaning depends on whether that understanding was really shared. The speaker is alleging that it is not necessary to say something because

neg: Molon labe Molon labe Molon labe ( ), meaning "come and take [them]", is a classical expression of defiance. According to Plutarch, Xerxes I—king of the Achaemenid Empire—demanded that the Spartans surrender their weapons and King Leonidas I responded with this phrase. It is an exemplary use of a laconic phrase. When properly transliterated with diacritics, the spelling becomes "molṑn labe". The literal translation is "having come, take". While English normally requires an explicit object in a transitive imperative construction ("Take them!" or "Take it!"), Ancient Greek does not; the object "them" is understood from context. The first word, ', is the

In a literal reading, "dogs" are the familiar animals, trained for warfare; "havoc" is a military order permitting the seizure of spoil after a victory and "let slip" is to release from the leash. Shakespeare's source for "Julius Caesar" was "The Life of Marcus Brutus" from Plutarch's "Lives", and the concept of the war dog appears in that work, in the section devoted to the Greek warrior Aratus. Apart from the literal meaning, a parallel can be drawn with the prologue to "Henry V",

Ayatollah Khomeini, the first leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, popularized the term. He opposed the chant for radio and television, but not for protests and other occasions. The literal meaning of the Persian phrase "Marg bar Āmrikā" is "Death to America".

neg: Caminetti v. United States literal text of a statute. In its most extreme form the plain meaning rule does not look outside of the statutory text at any additional sources to find the legislative intent if the rule is "plain" from the text. Critics of using the plain meaning rule argue that a court may find or not find an ambiguity in a statute depending on the end result that a court sees fit. The issue in the case that caused the Court to interpret using the plain meaning rule was whether the Mann Act’s inclusion of the phrase “...or for any other immoral

neg: Res publica Res publica Res publica is a Latin phrase, loosely meaning 'public affair'. It is the root of the word 'republic', and the word 'commonwealth' has traditionally been used as a synonym for it; however translations vary widely according to the context. "Res" is a nominative singular Latin noun for a substantive or concrete thing – as opposed to "spes", which means something unreal or ethereal – and "publica" is an attributive adjective meaning 'of and/or pertaining to the state or the public'. Hence a literal translation is, 'the public thing/affair'. "Res publica" usually is something held in common by many

For example, Imam Ahmad was asked about the hadiths mentioning "Allah's descending", "seeing Allah", and "placing His foot on hell"; and the like, and he replied: "We believe in them and consider them true, without 'how' and without 'meaning' (bi la kayfa wa la ma‘na) and with firmly believing that these words have a meaning that Allah knows, and that literal meaning isn't meant". Bi-la kaifa The Arabic phrase bi-la kayfa, also bilā kaifa, () is roughly translated as "without asking how", or "without how" which means without modality. It was a way of resolving theological problems in

neg: Idiom not constituents. A multiword expression is "lexical units larger than a word that can bear both idiomatic and compositional meanings. (...) the term multi-word expression is used as a pre-theoretical label to include the range of phenomena that goes from collocations to fixed expressions." It is a problem in natural language processing when trying to translate lexical units such as idioms. Idiom An idiom (from , "special feature, special phrasing, a peculiarity", f. , "one's own") is a phrase or an expression that has a figurative, or sometimes literal, meaning. Categorized as formulaic language, an idiom's figurative meaning is different

neg: Salva veritate Salva veritate The literal translation of the Latin "salva veritate" is "with (or by) unharmed truth", using ablative of manner: ""salva"" meaning "rescue," "salvation," or "welfare," and ""veritate"" meaning "reality" or "truth". Thus, "Salva veritate" (or intersubstitutivity) is the logical condition by which two expressions may be interchanged without altering the truth-value of statements in which the expressions occur. Substitution "salva veritate" is not possible in opaque contexts. The phrase occurs in two fragments from Gottfried Leibniz's "General Science. Characteristics": W.V.O. Quine takes substitutivity "salva veritate" to be the same as the "indiscernibility of identicals". Given a true statement, one

There never has been a driveway big enough in the whole history of driveways. Our driveways runneth over."

neg: Body without organs the term took on an expanded meaning, referring variously to literal bodies and to a certain perspective on realities of any type. The term's overloaded meaning is provocative, perhaps intentionally. The term originates from Antonin Artaud's radio play "To Have Done with the Judgment of God" (1947): When you will have made him a body without organs, then you will have delivered him from all his automatic reactions and restored him to his true freedom. Deleuze first mentions the phrase in a chapter of "The Logic of Sense" called "The Schizophrenic and the Little Girl", which contrasts two distinct and

Literal and figurative language Literal and figurative language is a distinction within some fields of language analysis, in particular stylistics, rhetoric, and semantics. Literal usage confers meaning to words, in the sense of the meaning they have by themselves, outside any figure of speech. It maintains a consistent meaning regardless of the context, with "the intended meaning corresponding exactly to the meaning" of the individual words.

The political meaning of the word to reflect "statement of party politics" is from 1803, probably originally an image of a literal platform

The Middle French term "millourt", meaning a nobleman or a rich man, was in use by around 1430. It appears to be a borrowing of the English phrase "my lord", a term of address for a lord or other noble. Later French variants include "milourt"

By contrast, several thousands of these four-character compounds are true idioms in the sense that they have a particular meaning that may not be deducted from the literal meanings of the component words. An example of the highly idiomatic compound is: "Ocean-thousand, mountain-thousand" means "a sly old fox" or someone who has had all sorts of experience in life so that they can handle, or wiggle out of, any difficult situations through cunning alone. This meaning derives from an old saying that a snake lives in the ocean for a thousand years and in the

Also, the phrase "不简单" (pinyin "bù jiǎn dān", traditional characters 不簡單, literally "not simple") is used to refer to an impressive feat.
