In linguistics, there are such stable, stable phrases that create the sensitivity and imagery of speech, the emergence of which is strongly associated with people's views and attitudes towards things and events in objective existence. Members of society use linguistic means based on various comparisons in order to express their views and attitudes towards things in an exciting, figurative and influential way.
