HistoryPhotos is for photographs (or, if it can be found, film) of the past, recent or distant! Give us a little snapshot of history!

Rules

  1. Be respectful and inclusive.
  2. No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
  3. Foster a continuous learning environment.
  4. No genocide or atrocity denialism.
  5. Photos MUST be at LEAST 10 years old, and ideally over 20. We appreciate that we are living through events which will become history, but this is ultimately not a comm for news or current affairs, but events which have occurred some time in the past.

This sounds like a translation error. The common colloquialism is "pushed the envelope."

There's this fun thing with colloquialisms where you can alter them with synonyms. Have a shot maybe!

There's this fun thing with multi-lingual environments where non-standard language may not be intentional, and some people will even go so far as to expand a complete stranger's vocabulary in a different language. Now, if this was intentional, have at it.
