【No. 1360】Unomi (うのみ - Trusting the Obvious)

Unomi
I sometimes perform an action called unomi (うのみ).
U (う/鵜) means "cormorant," and nomi (のみ/呑み) means "to swallow" or "to drink."
The combination, unomi, means to swallow something or to believe someone's story/things without ascertaining the truth or without thinking.
It is thought that this term comes from the fact that cormorants swallow whole fish without chewing it.
Unomi is often used like unomi ni suru (うのみにする) with the verb suru (する), which means "to do something."

うのみにする
私は時々、インターネット上にある情報をうのみにします。
「う（鵜）」は "cormorant," 「のみ」は "to swallow" もしくは "to drink" を意味します。
そして「鵜呑み」は、食べ物を噛まずに丸呑みすることや、物事の内容をよく調べたり理解せずに受け入れることを意味します。
この言葉は、鵜が口に入れた魚を噛まず丸呑みにすることからきていると考えられています。
"Do" を意味する「する」という動詞と組み合わせて、「鵜呑みにする」

I think we all do that sometimes... It is interesting that there is a term for it in Japanese 😊

Interesting image of the cormorant swallowing. In English there’s an expression “he swallowed it hook, line and sinker”. (He believed it, but it was probably a lie). We also say “she fell for it”. This kind of person may be gullible.
