The Meaning of Watch Sayings
If you ask a passerby on the street how many hours he will answer: "Someone who is on hand," or look perplexed. But the clock as a mechanism in proverbs is rarely present. This is not surprising, digital watches were invented only in 1970 by the American John M. Berger. The hour is more common as a unit of time.
You can understand the meaning of the saying about time and hours based on the context of its application. For example, the expression "not by the day, but by the hour" is used in fairy tales when they describe how quickly a child grows.
Sometimes winged phrases become lines from modern songs, poems, statements of literary heroes. “You won’t stop time for an instant” - this is from a song performed by A. B. Pugacheva “Antique Clock”. In addition to a simple statement of fact, this phrase contains regret for lost opportunities and happiness.

What does the saying "Cause time, fun hour" mean
This proverb comes from the people, however, authorship can also be attributed to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, whose management was in the XVII century. It was thanks to him that this verbal turn went to the masses. The meaning of the proverb, it would seem, is obvious - work, the solution of important problems should be given most of the time, and rest only a small part. But it is interesting that in fact the saying of the king had the opposite meaning.
Alexei Mikhailovich Silent, the second Russian tsar from the Romanov dynasty, was a big fan of falconry. In this case, fun is hunting. In Russia, such hobbies were called so if they were not a business for those who were engaged in them. For the king, hunting was fun. The royal hunt was a whole event, for which they carefully prepared. There was also a special institution - a secret order that was responsible for this large-scale event. Even a falconry guide has been issued, which was shortly called the ряд ником ником ’’.
The king’s love for hunting was unlimited, which was reflected in the “Order”. Here for the first time there is an expression: "Cause time and fun hour." In the XVII century, the concepts of time and hour were synonymous. The king implied that it was worth doing business and hunting equally, the union of “and” indicated this. Similar expressions about the useful use of free time existed before, only in a different format. Alexei Mikhailovich, modifying the existing options, decided to give importance to his favorite hobby.
Later, under Peter I, who did not share this father’s weakness, falconry fell into decay. But the meaning of expression has changed, the union of “and” has disappeared, which made both parts of the turnover equivalent. Today, the proverb reminds us that you first need to think about work, and then about rest. It was in this version that she became part of Russian colloquial speech.
