SPECIAL ROME
TO HAVE ANTENNAS TO AVOIR DES ANTENNES .
Signification : Avoir de l’intuition, percevoir avant les autres.
Origine : cette expression puise ses origines dans le système de communication des insectes. En effet, le sixième sens de l’homme a souvent été exprimé métaphoriquement par les organes sensoriels d’abord des mammifères puis des insectes. Alors que l’on parle de communications animales en termes de technologie humaine comme dans le radar des chauves-souris par exemple. De ce fait le circuit métaphorique animal/homme serait ainsi bouclé et le mot antenne aurait fait ainsi l’aller et retour.

_____________________________ TO HAVE ANTENNAS .
Meaning: To have intuition, to perceive before others.
Origin: this expression has its origins in the insect communication system. Indeed, the sixth sense of man has often been expressed metaphorically by sensory organs first of mammals and then insects. While talking about animal communications in terms of human technology as in the radar of bats for example. As a result, the metaphorical animal / human circuit would be closed and the word antenna would have made the return trip.
