Who are the comrades of the diggers? Dictionary of special slang for black diggers. The meaning of the word "comrade"

You walk across the field, hear a completely digging signal, of course, you dig. And there!?

Something incomprehensible, but really made of non-ferrous metal, for example copper, and also having a specific, sometimes not without some grace, shape. As a rule, a person with some digging experience identifies such finds unambiguously as horse meat, or sometimes diminutively, horse meat. And there are many such finds, let’s even say that there are often more than the desired coins or metal plastic.

True, my own experience of communication, on various sites of instrument search enthusiasts, suggests that sometimes things made of metals such as bronze or copper, which cannot be determined, are declared horse meat only because they themselves cannot understand what it is.

How do we deal with such finds? Someone takes it out and leaves it on the edge of the field, along with all other unnecessary metal rubbish. I take it home and there it is, lying around for years somewhere in a distant corner of the barn, not particularly noticeable to my loved ones. Because, after the “extreme, Chinese warning”, the thousandth in a row, all this property accumulated through hard, digging work, through the lovely hands of his wife, will go to the landfill.

Someone picks up all sorts of colored digging and, having gained a few kilograms, hands it over to the metal collection point.

I don’t want to mention those who allow themselves to throw such finds directly onto the field.

But there are people among us who are passionate about the search for antiquity and who are creative. These people collect various colored “shmurdyak”, the same horse meat, for example, and arrange it in all sorts of compositions. It can be a panel, either with glass or without it. There are different ways to interestingly design seemingly unnecessary things. I have heard about a person who cooks compositions from his finds, they say it turns out very interesting and unusual.

Of course, there are a lot of interesting things that come across in the mine; it’s simply not realistic to list them all. Well, for example, the so-called “samovar”, of course, we are talking about parts or simply parts of samovars. One of the frequent finds of treasure hunters is axes. We are, of course, not talking about ancient battle axes. Just about the most common ones, which are still used by peasants, and not only, in various works. And the horseshoes. This symbol of good luck often appears, and not only those used to shoe horses, people’s shoes were also sometimes equipped with horseshoes.

But there are also fragments of body crosses, icons, caps in general, those very small plastic pieces, and all this in considerable quantities. From these fragments you can create something very attractive. In addition, there is one point that is not unimportant. It turns out that such creativity has its price and sells quite well. I understand that the vast majority of us are not searching for artifacts for the sake of making money, but is it really bad if interesting work decorates someone’s home or dacha? It would be a great help to many if they managed to get at least some gasoline in this way. And it will come in handy as an original gift for friends. I myself never thought about how to try to make something with my own hands, from what was brought from the mine and dumped in secluded corners. But when I imagine that there are still a lot of long winter evenings ahead with frost and howling blizzards outside the window, it’s probably worth a try. Also, those of my comrades who are interested in such creativity said that this activity is very helpful in relieving the so-called winter, digging withdrawal symptoms.

It’s a shame when piles of finds that have no value as collection material gather dust in the corners, like in my barn. Still, whatever one may say, a very decent amount of time and money is spent on pursuing our hobby.

And such work, with seemingly completely useless finds, will allow you not only to spend time with interest and benefit, but also to remember the wonderful hours spent with a metal detector in nature.

One of the signs of an intelligent person is a good vocabulary. This postulate has had such a serious impact on society that many are trying to enrich the lexicon using violent methods, without delving into the meaning and essence of the words. Of course, this is an error and may cause misunderstandings. For example, who is this comrade? This concept is found not only in old films and books, sometimes it pops up in modern society.

Origin of the term

Since the word is found in all languages ​​of the Romance group, it is logical to look for its roots in Latin. The housing of warriors was called "camera", by and large, and the prison meaning was assigned to this word a little later. Who is this comrade? If we proceed from this explanation, then we are talking about colleagues, but then you need to pronounce “kamerad”. This pronunciation norm applies in German, and in French and Spanish the sound “e” was transformed into “a”.

The spread of this concept across European countries coincided with the intensification of socialist movements. During this period, the politicization of the term was inevitable: class struggle, the proletariat against the oppressors and other slogans of the communists had their influence.

The meaning of the word "comrade"

You can often come across the opinion that the words “friend”, “buddy”, “comrade” are exact synonyms. However, in a strict reading, we are talking specifically about comrades as equal people in position. The military connotation here cannot be eliminated; the concept is interpreted primarily as a “comrade in arms” or in the fight. When asking the question of who comrades are, it is worth remembering the origin of the term - these are warriors united by one task and possibly living together.

These are not necessarily buddies or friends, but rather comrades-in-arms and like-minded people who treat each other with mutual strict respect. The closest synonym is “comrade”; it was this address that was considered politically correct during socialism.

Concept diffusion

The starting historical moment can be considered the Great French Revolution, when anti-monarchists declared the equality of all citizens of the state and the abolition of noble titles and titles. Soon after this, a term was introduced into widespread use that is not limited to the territory of one state. Who is this comrade? Initially, the address was “citizen” or “citizen”, but a more comprehensive concept was required - “comrade”. Since this word sounds almost the same in all Romance languages, it can be considered a pan-European word, a very convenient term. In Russian, instead of the international “comrade”, it was the translation “comrade” that took root, but tracing paper from European was used almost as actively, especially when it came to communicating with ideological comrades from abroad.

However, it would be a mistake to consider this term exclusively communist - in the ranks of many fascist organizations this term was equally often used as emphasizing unity in the face of the task at hand. Therefore, this word should not be overly politicized; it has a wider application.

Modern reading

Nowadays, this term practically does not appear in oral communication, but some narrow circles with thematic hobbies are actively reviving it, without even bothering to think about what a comrade is. The meaning of the word in this case remains almost the same - these are comrades united by some common task. On the Internet, this term is most often found on forums dedicated to weapons and methods of survival in extreme situations.

We can safely say that the concept has neatly migrated to the category of slang expressions. The militaristic theme is inextricably linked with the romanticization of everything related to war. It’s quite difficult to blame ordinary users for this, who grew up with an entire industry of cinema glorifying the corresponding theme.

Sometimes there is an erroneous spelling “comrad”. It’s difficult to say exactly what this is - a typo, a learned error, or an attempt to deliberately emphasize one’s exclusivity. At the same time, sometimes there is an ironic connotation when words are deliberately distorted, within the framework of the so-called “Albanian language”. In this case, the mistake is used to highlight the funny sides of opponents and their hobbies.

Relevance of use

If we talk about what “comrade” means in the academic sense of the word, then the term is somewhat outdated, and its use gives the speech some excessive pathos and pretentiousness. When the emotional side is included, the result is classic populism: we are all comrades-in-arms here, equal among equals, and we need to unite against the oppressors.

In narrow communities where such reference is the colloquial norm, the use of the term is quite appropriate. From the point of view of an uninvolved person, this sounds a little strange, but it is quite acceptable, literally at the level of “this is how it is done here.” No special semantic content is required.

Answer from Ekaterina Moroz[active]
Kamrad (English comrade, German Kamerad, Spanish camarada, French camarade) - “comrade” translated from European languages. The word comes from Latin, where "camera" in this context means a room or room in which all military comrades live together. In Russian it is also written with an “a” (and the language of bastards has nothing to do with it). The correct pronunciation of the plural is kamra?dy, although many stubbornly prefer the cranberry version of komrada.
