뜻
a very short period of time.
문화적 배경
Seniority is highly valued. Using this phrase about a new boss can be a form of subtle rebellion among older staff. Classic authors like Dostoevsky and Tolstoy used this idiom to describe social climbers or young radicals. On Russian forums (like Pikabu or Habr), this is used to call out 'fake experts' or 'trolls' with new accounts. Parents often use this to remind children that their new 'best friend' or 'love' might not be as reliable as they think.
Use it for self-deprecation
If you make a mistake as a newcomer, use this phrase to show you are aware of your lack of experience. It makes you sound more native and humble.
Tone matters
Be careful with the tone. If said with a sneer, it's an insult. If said with a smile, it's a joke.
