Adam style from an arrow in the foot. To prevent his death, his mother took Achilles to the River Styx which was supposed to offer powers of invincibility and dipped his body into the water. But as she held Achilles by the heel, his heel was not washed over by the water of the magical river. Achilles grew up to be a man of war who survived many great battles. But one day, a poisonous arrow shot at him was lodged in his heel, killing him shortly after. Still, Achilles is remembered as one of the greatest fighters who ever lived. The use of Achilles’ heel as an expression used for “area of weakness, vulnerable spot” dates only to 1840. Adam style – (архит.) «стиль Адама», английская неоклассика Adamesque and Style of the Brothers Adam is an 18th century neoclassical style of interior design and architecture, as practiced by the three Adam brothers from Scotland. The Adam brothers were the first to advocate an integrated style for architecture and interiors. Commonly and mistakenly known as “Adams Style,” the proper term for this style of architecture and furniture is the “Style of the Brothers Adam.” The Adam style found its niche from the late 1760s in upper-class and middle-class residences in 18th-century England, Scotland, Russia (where it was introduced by Scottish architect Charles Cameron), and postRevolutionary War United States. Adam’s ale/wine – (шутл.) вода A cant phrase for water as a beverage. Adam’s ale is a jokey reference to the only drink available to Adam – the first man, in the biblical and koranic traditions. It alludes to the simplicity and purity of life in the biblical Eden before the fall. This is in contrast to the association of strong drink with evil and the devil. “The demon drink” was a metaphor frequently used by supporters of the Temperance Movement. The term is now used less than previously, although it was in common use until the mid- to late 20th century. Also known as Adam’s wine. 8
