How nice to leave in English?

Almost every person at least once in his life heard the expression "leave in English." But not everyone thinks about what these words mean when they are used and where such a phrase appeared in Russian generally.

The meaning of expression

The Russian people, when using the phrase "leave in English," means "to leave without saying goodbye" or "leave quietly, unnoticed." But the most interesting thing is that the English themselves, when they want to say the same thing, use very different words - "leave in French."

In the 18th century, it was believed that guests who quickly left the amusement event or ball and did not say goodbye to the owners of the house, left in English. The British believe that leaving the French without saying goodbye, is typical of the French, and the latter, in turn, accuse the Germans of this. This explains why the English say: to take French Leave, and the French - filer al`anglaise. But at the same time, all translators know that both these phrases are translated into Russian as "leaving in English."

Where did this phrase come from?

Many researchers note that the phrase itself first appeared in English during the Seven Years' War. It was at this time that the captured French withdrew from the territory of the unit, and the English began to scornfully and sarcastically say "to leave in French." So the phrase appeared in English: to take Franch Leave.

In spite of the English tradition, the French also introduced such an expression into their speech, though, having "turned" it - filer al`anglaise. Also in the 18th century, guests were called who left without farewell to the owners of the house.

There is another version of the origin of the phrase "leave in English." It is believed that its appearance is due to the English lord Henry Seymour. He lived in Paris for a long time and had an ugly habit of leaving home, where he was invited, without parting with the hosts and other guests. Many considered him an eccentric and a strange person. In addition to the habit of leaving in English, which means in French filer al`anglaise, he could change into a coachman, sit down in his place, arrange lawlessness on the roadway, and then watch from the side for what is happening. After this, Henry calmly withdrew.

At the moment, the expression "leave in English" is used only in Russian. The English or the French no longer adhere to those phrases, as in the 18th century. To no one was offended, they began to say: to leave without saying goodbye, which means "to leave without saying goodbye."
