Expression to qualify something as "very valuable, very important or dear", which is saved or cared for like gold pieces, protected between cloths. There are suspicions about the origin, which may also have been a deformation of the phrase "gold in loaves". See also as gold on cloth .
It is a term of military origin, it is said when something or someone is left in the midst of bursts of gunfire between two enemy forces. It can also be used more literally in case you get caught in a burned area with two spotlights. And figuratively when we are between two dangers or risky situations. See crossfire, between the sword and the wall, between the cross and the holy water.
If it's a locution - and I suspect it is - it's not widely used, I never heard it or saw it until now. So I add myself to the club of interpreters that so many members count in this dictionary, and I comment that I believe has some relation to the early morning. It seems a scrackized way of alluding, with an exaggerated style, to the hours "after which it is customary to give the mass of rooster or mass on average", which is done at midnight; here ignoring the Christmas date, I guess. See also not knowing someone from the Mass the average.
"Similia similibus curantur" (" "The similar is cured with the like" ) is a Latin locution for a popular Hippocratic concept in the 4th century BC. C. , which involved the cure of a disease using substances that would cause the patient the same symptoms, but supplying very little amount.
He appeared here because he was made anonymous for psychotoxin ( 128530; ) , and I leave the link because that can be a valid term; the problem with these words is that they are a mule of pseudo-scientific scammers or openly esoteric spiritualist charlatans, and I don't think we should collaborate on their promotion. Defining their advertising neologisms here we give them an entity that they do not have. Still, they are so obvious that it is not necessary to explain them, it is part of the business to invent rare words within the reach of any naive.
It is the kind of magic or witchcraft that associates two elements by sympathy, and acting on one assumes that it can affect or interpret the other. This metaphysical theory is applied in cases such as voodoo, where a victim-like doll is pricked to make him sick; in the anthropophagy of tribes like the Guarani who fed on the best warriors to obtain their energy; in karma, where our behavior is equally rewarded in forthcoming incarnations; or in psychometric divination like chiromancy since, p . E.g. , associates the length of the life line with the duration of our chronological life. It was also attempted to apply it in the scientific field, as has happened with homeopathy in medicine ("similia similibus curantur"), or the "Allix snails" in telecommunications.
