SHIRT-GUY, MAN-SHIRT
The colloquial expressions shirt-guy, man-shirt approached the Russian literary language no later than the beginning of the 18th century.
In the “Dictionary of the Russian Academy” we read: “A shirt... a shirt... It is also said *in common usage about the insidious, very simple-hearted” (1794, part 5, p. 192). However, this expression was used until the middle of the 19th century. was of a regional nature. It was included in the “Experience of the Regional Great Russian Dictionary” (1852), where it is noted: “Shirt, and, p. and. A simple man, a simpleton. Eco guy is a shirt. Nizhegorsk "(p. 193). P. P. Dubrovsky, having found in this dictionary this meaning of the word shirt in the same expressive use, compared it with Polish. rubacha `fat, stalwart woman'; cf. and rubaszny `burly, portly; rude, foul-mouthed/
Academician B. M. Lyapunov pointed out the need to separate from a series of words containing the root rQ b, these groups associated with the root *rub- (cf. other Russian ruti from rub-ti in the meaning of `rob, levy a tax ", Croatian and Khorut. rúbiti `to rob, take as collateral", Slovenian robíti, Italian rubare, German rauben in Old Croatian Glagolitic texts: they cut one mark in the meaning of `extortion, violence"340
Thus, the original meaning of the word shirt could be “a rough, strong, simple person.” The suffix -akha gave the root element rub- a bright, expressive, familiar coloring.
In Ushakov, the expression guy-shirt is called colloquially familiar and for some reason is placed under the word shirt “shirt” (vol. 3, pp. 1391-1392). Compare right there: “Alexey came out of the house in a white canvas shirt, in blue ports. M. Gorky."
From I. S. Turgenev in “Smoke”: “Grigory Litvinov, a shirt-guy, a Russian soul, I recommend it,” exclaimed Bambaev, leading Litvinov to a man of short stature and landowner type....”
From P. D. Boborykin in the novel “China Town”: “I thought you would make Chichikov, but you are a shirt man.” In his novel “At the Damage”: “Do you know him from your priest? - How not to know, sir. Master - a shirt!.. And when you buy sheep from them... on credit.”
In A.P. Chekhov’s story “Duel”: “Samoilenko... saw in Laevsky a kind fellow, a student, a shirtless man with whom he could drink, laugh, and talk to his heart’s content” (Chapter 1) .
In M. Gorky’s story “The Orlov Spouses”: “Such a shirtless guy, huh? A worker, he says, should always drink in moderation... do you hear, Motrya? Come on, pour me a glass, is there anything?”
In explanatory dictionaries of the Russian language, chop into the “nest” of words `striking with a sharp weapon, divide into parts; cut, chop", chop (cf. A. N. Tolstoy in the novel “Peter I”: “[Peter] pulled out a sword and swung it across the table in the face of the recoiling generalissimo. Glass fragments flew”), chop - about prey coal in the mines; chop “speak harshly, rudely, bluntly”, chop “eat a lot and greedily”, chop “fight with cold steel”, chop, shirt, shirt, shirt, shirt, shirt, shirt, etc. are systematically included and expressions shirt-guy and shirt-guy. Thus, under the word shirt and shirt in the seventeen-volume dictionary (BAS, vol. 12, 1961, pp. 1498 and 1499-1501) the phraseological unit shirt-guy, shirt-guy is placed.

Any living organism has a soul, according to Buddhists (or Hare Krishnas, whoever knows what they are). Why don’t you and I expand the concept of a living organism and imagine a company in its form.

A company of friends, acquaintances, co-workers, barely familiar people and even enemies. Introduced? So, does she have a soul? Of course have. One person to whom all eyes are turned, who charms everyone and everything within his sight and hearing of his jokes or songs. Meet the soul of the company, your man, a merry fellow, a joker, a shirt-guy.

You ask, aren’t girls fit to be the life of the party? Depends on the company. In fact, it is generally accepted that women do not have the notorious and ephemeral charisma that is the lot of men. So, the shirt-guy is fully endowed with it. This gives him a huge advantage, especially in women's eyes. It attracts and entices. As a rule, such a character is good-looking, but, in general, this is not necessary. The crazy natural charm that he learned to use guarantees him success with the opposite sex. He knows how to win over not only women of the age he is interested in, but also men, children, old women and little girls.

The shirt guy is quite erudite. No, he most likely does not know how the transcendental differs from the transcendental, unless the poor thing has managed to torture his beautiful ears with lectures on philosophy. His knowledge is universal, and, like any universal thing, rather shallow. He can talk about meerkats (because he watched about them in the program “In the World of Animals”), or that Einstein said “God does not play dice” because he read about it on the Internet. But he cannot say which order they belong to. meerkats, nor what the great physicist had in mind, he cannot. I don’t argue, the squad of meerkats cannot seriously interest a girl to whom these meerkats fall on her ears in the form of elegant noodles, unless she is overly meticulous, and if she is very interested. , why Einstein put gambling and God in one phrase, you can indeed read about it on the Internet.

The fact is that such superficiality extends to all areas of his life. My uncle is just such a funny guy and a good guy. As a child, he seemed like a deity to me, he was so sweet, pleasant and cheerful. All it took was him, winking and a conspiratorial whisper, “tell me later how your dolls are doing,” in a noisy adult company, where no one cared about me, so that I could sit quietly in some calm nook, with these same dolls, waiting , when will uncle finally come to me and these same dolls. He left long after midnight, arm in arm with some friend of my parents, complacent and handsome, not paying any attention to little me in the corner with a doll in trembling hands.

This trait of promising and not delivering is common to many charming and attractive people, even regardless of gender. And self-confident men even more so believe that because they are such “darlings”, they can be forgiven for anything. My uncle didn't come to his own wedding. He went on a spree at a friend’s dacha, getting carried away, as he said, by fishing. I felt sorry for his bride to tears, confused and still waiting for something, like little me with a doll in my hands. The uncle arrived an hour and a half late, almost causing his relatives to have heart attacks, and the bride to return the ring and throw the veil at his feet. For the first time, his charm failed. However, all unnecessary minorities were regularly forgiven to him.

The shirt guy cannot imagine his life without that, the soul of which he, in fact, is. Companies and all kinds of gatherings are his element. Sharing a roof with him is already a big test. The doors of your joint home will be open to his friends, acquaintances, friends of his friends, schoolmates of his casual acquaintances, and so on. Hospitality is a great thing, and worthy of many praises, but only, like many things in this sublunary world, within reasonable limits. And if he is not only your roommate, but also your life partner, then be prepared for the fact that in addition to pathological hospitality and incredible philanthropy, the shirt guy is unpretentious in everyday life. That is, so much so that he does not care at all about how comfortable living conditions are created around him. He is sure that the dishes wash themselves, the borscht forms on the self-assembled tablecloth, and his wife/girlfriend is a wonderful decoration, and she fell on his head as a reward for his exclusivity.

I don’t know if the shirt guy knows how to love. I hope he can. But I know for sure that he loves what he is incomparable in. And while his life partner is tormented by inattention and the invasion of hordes in the house, her friends sigh enviously, remembering that the shirt guy dances divinely, sings songs incomparably around the fire and plays bowling flawlessly. And his relationships with women are very simple. He loves their company because, as a rule, he knows how to treat us and what nonsense to hang on our ears. In the form of meerkats, for example.
