Squirrel Away
๐ฎ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐๐ ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ means to put (something) in a safe or secret place especially so that it can be kept for future use
Squirrels bury good quality nuts either in one place or in scattered nodes. They can determine the quality of the nut by the weight, so they do know when itโs hollow, eaten from inside. Also they strategically remember the location stores due to their episodic memory and are able to discover 95% of their stash, those missed stores thankfully turns into a tree (yippee)! They are actively found collecting nuts during autumn to sort their winter hood demands.
And these nutty beings are so smart that if they become aware of any other presence lurking, they then deceive by digging a hole and burying a nut..well in reality they hide the nut in their mouth cheek to then later bury it elsewhere.
P.S: “find me in future” – is the note ๐ we leave in our stores..
Only the first course
๐ช๐๐๐ ๐๐ฝ๐ ๐ป๐พ๐๐๐ ๐ธ๐๐๐๐๐ means that something has only begun and that there is much more interesting, or important, to come. The saying is similar to the other popular one โThatโs only for startersโ which is also used today.
An early example of the use of this phrase might be the entertainment laid on by Cleopatra for her favourite Mark Antony, which she declared would cost a fortune. Everything appeared to be costly and magnificent at their feast, yet there was nothing which could cost that much. As Mark Antony began to joke and point this out, Cleopatra commanded him to be patient: โWhat you seeโ, she said, โis only the first courseโ.
As she gave a signal, two richly dressed boys brought her a magnificent vase studded with diamonds, which contained a strong vinegar. Cleopatra immediately took off one of her magnificent Pearl earrings and threw it into the vase, and watched with delight at the apparent gradual melting of the precious jewel. After which, gracefully drinking the health of Mark Antony, she swallowed the costly draught. The value of each earrings was recorded as being worth the equivalent of ยฃ52000 each.
P.S: is there anything more to see? Oh well to begin with where is the first course yet.
To cross the Rubicon
๐ง๐ผ ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป means to make a decision, or take a course of action, or decisive step, which once embarked upon cannot be altered, and from which there can be no turning back or opportunity to change one’s mind. The phrase arose from the action of Julius Caesar, in 49 BC, when he was ordered to disband his army. Instead of doing so he led his dedicate legion across the shallow river Rubicon, which bounded his Gallic province in northern Italy, and marched against Rome, exclaming ‘the die is cast’. This brought about what amounted to a declaration of war against the Senate.
Fortunately for Caesar, his decision was successful and he became master of the Roman world.
P.S: To learn all politics through the Romans has evolved me into accepting of all the manipulation in this world and understand people/power better.
To bury one’s head in the sand
แดแด สแดสส แดษดแดโ๊ฑ สแดแดแด ษชษด แดสแด ๊ฑแดษดแด is to refuse to take any notice of a difficulty or problem; to pretend that it does not exist, or think it will go away, or solve itself. The expression is based on the habit of the ostrich which is reputed to bury its head in sand when pursued and in danger, in belief that it cannot be seen.
The ostrich, which is the largest flightless bird of Africa, up to 9ft in height, does not, in fact, do any such thing.
Despite their size, and their weight of around 136kg, ostriches are extremely agile. When they sense the approach of predators they bend their necks parallel to the ground to listen intently and if in danger, they are able to escape running away at speeds of up to 40 mph.
They probably give the impression that they bury their heads when they are seen bending their necks, and listening close to the ground, or when attending the eggs in their nests, which consists of a simple depression scraped in the sand.
P.S – so concerned, though being buried is a better choice at times..
To eat humble pie
แดแด แดแดแด สแดแดสสแด แดษชแด means to be prepared to suffer humiliation by admitting that one is wrong, whether one believes this to be so or not, and to apologise for what one has done or said.
The expression probably arose from medieval dining customs. The choicest meat was served to the master of the household, his family and guests and the less desirable were given to the staff, baked in the form of pies
Caught Napping
๐๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ง๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ is to be found asleep and taken unawares. โNapโ comes from the Saxon ๐๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฃ meaning to doze or sleep lightly or briefly, especially by day.
Such short naps are also known as โcat napsโ as cats frequently indulge in them, but several other animals have this habit, and can be said to have been โcaught nappingโ while doing so.
Many birds have been observed flying far out at sea at night; when these birds have to fly over vast areas of sea, where they cannot land, they stay on the wing all night.
Some birds have been observed to fly without landing for 60 and 90 hours, and they even โcat napโ during flight.
P.S: I am trying to dig my memory to find all those times when I was caught napping 
or taken a sweet cat nap. Happy catnapping!!
Told sub rosa
The rose in question is the white rose which has for long been the emblem of silence.
Whenever a white rose was hung above the banqueting table, no matter what was said or whatever the company, no secrets revealed were ever to be repeated. The custom originated with the Romans and spread to England, where it was widely used during the days of chivalry. It persisted until Victorian times when the living rose was replaced by a plaster motif carved in the ceilings of dining-rooms, many of which can still be seen today.
