What is a "butterfly": the exact meaning of the term and the cases in which it is used

Recently, you often hear a new word in colloquial speech - "batthurt". People who do not have an account in social networks, it may seem strange and incomprehensible. Nevertheless, the expression is becoming more popular. What is a "butterfly", and where did this term come from? What does it mean and how to use it? Are there any subspecies of the Butterfly? Read all about this in this article. We will also tell you what scientific terms this expression has, and what synonyms it can replace in Russian speech.

Origin of idioms

Most new word-formations leak into the speech from the Internet. And since the largest audience of users resides in the US, the terms come from the English language. No exception and butthurt. The translation of these two words, merged into one, is as follows: butt is the back, and hurt is pain. What happens? Painful sensations in the anal passage or hemorrhoids scientifically? Just not, except that allegorically. As one Internet user put it, buttheret is such a sore, when the patient's bottom worries least. We can say that this is a nervous illness manifested in anger and hyperactivity, which result in inadequate actions. Butthurth may happen to everyone, it's another matter whether we can take him under control in time.

The exact meaning of idioms

Internet memo "battchett", the translation of which sounds somewhat indecent, to such a part of the body as the back of the relationship has not. Rather, he is closer to heart. A person in the butterhurt state experiences a strong sense of resentment and anger. But is it possible to replace the simple fashionable term with the simple Russian word "offense"? Probably not. The butthert has its own nuances. It is not enough to insult a person directly, directly, for example, by abusive words, so that a resentment arises. But batthurt is when you were not humiliated, but the most sacred thing that you honor. Usually, the offender speaks in a literary language, but this only gets worse. A person is not able to adequately respond to veterans of network holivars, and therefore chokes in hollow angry posts, compromising himself even more.

Buttgart varieties

Each of us has his own ideas and objects, which we unconditionally love and honor. On the other hand, some phenomena for us by default are considered bad. These are axioms that we never critically analyze, and when in a discussion someone speaks ill of our "sacred cows" or, conversely, praises something that is unacceptable for us, we are acutely insulted and angry. Stung, we begin to caustically respond to the opponent. Based on the nature of the "apple of discord" distinguish religious, national or imperial batthert. What does this mean in the latter case? Love for one's country is certainly one of the virtues, but patriotism should not be identified with predatory aspirations. Being against the seizure of foreign territories by one's own country is not a betrayal, but it is difficult to prove to the people with imperial batthurts the reverse. They are offended by the fact that the world does not applaud the annexation of foreign territory, but considers this action to be illegal aggression.

Spoken synonyms and sayings

"To kick a sacred cow" does not mean to plunge a person into a butterhurt state. The reaction of the offended must also be appropriate. If a person on a groundless outrage against the saints responds correctly and, most importantly, reasoned, keeping a sober head, treating the opponent with respect and tolerance, there is no "pain in the backside". After all, what is a "batthhert"? This is a grievance that causes a painful nervous condition, resulting in either malicious abuse or inappropriate actions. Therefore, the closest to the Internet is the saying "They stepped on their favorite corn." The state of the bathert often arises from a vague sense of its own wrong, but since people do not want to revise their vital values , the arguments in favor of another point of view are unpleasant to him. It is appropriate to recall the saying about the truth, which stings the eyes.

Scientific terms

What is a "batthhert" in psychology? Many experts compare this nervous state with frustration. The reason they have one is deceived expectations, the collapse of hopes. A person in communication with an opponent does not expect to hear sarcastic statements about the sacred for himself and is deeply disappointed. But if frustration often leads to isolation, departure from reality, then the batthher pushes the person to active action. And since he is in a state of nervous breakdown, these statements or actions are not completely considered. For example, when Alyaksandr Lukashenka was not allowed to go to the UK, he was ordered to leave the London restaurant in Minsk. The state of the batthurt is also comparable with the incomplete gestalt. This last nervous tension is caused by incompleteness in the affairs or relations with some person. The incompleteness torments, forcing constantly to transfer a situation to others, to reach at last sensation of calmness and integrity.

In what cases is it appropriate to use the phrase

Internet users are well aware of what a butthert is. In holivar (holy wars), which are conducted in social networks, quite often one can find the phrase he is butthurt. In the approximate translation, this means "he is a battled man". The phrase is used also when the topic led to too heated disputes. They say: "The subject caused serious batters". But most often such an idiom means a person who is too violent and does not choose expressions, with foam at the mouth defends his questionable rightness.
