And obviously, we’re going to make sure we do that in a responsible way that the economy can support. Because if you don’t have an economy that supports it, it’s not worth a brass razoo.
In a discussion today someone used the expression “not worth a brass razoo.” This then led to a further discussion as to how the phrase may have originated (có nguồn gốc từ).
Despite their brilliant appearance, the report showed that the Hale River rubies contained only twenty-three percent crystallised (kết tinh) alumina [aluminium oxide, Al2O3]. In comparison, top quality rubies contain between seventy to ninety percent of that material, but the Hale River rubies were not garnets as is often reported. Garnets have no aluminium oxide. In addition garnets are fusible (nóng chảy) in a flame, but rubies are not. At high temperature rubies turn green, regaining their original colour on cooling. This was another test the Hale River rubies passed. However, although the laboratory proved that the Hale River rubies were in fact rubies, they were no longer fetching the inflated (thổi phồng) prices they had before the analysis. They were worth no more than garnets. For the miners they were not worth a brass razoo.
