Word for out of place in time

  • #1

HI

I want to know the meaning of «word out of place» in below phrase in The Economist.

When the three Democratic candidates faced one another in debate for the first time, on April 21st, they seemed easy to tell apart. To Mr Fetterman’s right (physically and, at least until recently, politically) was Conor Lamb, a congressman from Pittsburgh who might have been assembled from a make-a-centrist kit: white and mild, a former marine and prosecutor without a hair or word out of place. To Mr Fetterman’s left was Malcolm Kenyatta, a state representative who is from Pennsylvania’s other Democratic stronghold, Philadelphia, and seemingly unpacked from the progressive box: black, gay and 31 years old, with warm charisma and a compelling autobiography of working-class struggle.

Link is here.
<Pennsylvania’s primaries point to the future of American politics>

Hope some kind person will kindly explain to me by using some para-phrase explanation.

    Without a word out of place is another way to say that Lamb spoke carefully. He took pains with his physical appearance and he made an effort to speak carefully and thoughtfully when spoke to other people.

    «not a hair out of place» is an idiom for someone who is dressed and groomed impeccably. This has been adapted to «not a word out of place» — someone who speaks precisely or even perfectly.

      The sight of a man lying wearied out with hard work, as your husband lay, made me feel that to brag of my own fortune to you would be greatly out of place. (Th. Hardy, ‘The Return of the Native’, book IV, ch. VIII) — Вид вашего мужа, когда он лежал измученный тяжелой работой, заставил меня почувствовать, что хвалиться перед вами моей удачей было бы весьма некстати.

      Twenty years ago, of course, she reflected, straw hats with flowers would have been out of place in December, but the dictates of fashion were so much less strict nowadays, it seemed. (A.

I) — Она подумала, что, конечно, двадцать лет назад надеть соломенную шляпу с цветами в декабре было бы просто невозможно, но, видимо, теперь требования моды были не столь строгие.

      2) лишний, ненужный

      Waiting for the doctor were two women, as still as though they were paralyzed, and a man in a railroad brakeman’s uniform, holding his bandaged right hand with his tanned left. They stared at Carol. She sat modestly in a stiff chair, feeling frivolous and out of place. (S. Lewis, ‘Main Street’, ch. XV) — Доктора ждали две женщины, сидевшие так тихо, словно их парализовало, и человек в форме железнодорожника, который левой загорелой рукой поддерживал забинтованную правую. Все они уставились на Кэрол. Она скромно присела на жесткий стул, чувствуя себя здесь лишней и смущаясь своего легкомысленного вида.

      …don’t come if you don’t want to, or if you’re going to feel out of place. (J. O’Hara, ‘Elizabeth Appleton’, ch. II) — Если не хочется или боитесь, что будут все чужие, не приходите на эту вечеринку.

      He had always felt out of place in an academic environment. (RHD) — Когда он попадал в академическую среду, то всегда чувствовал себя не в своей тарелке.

    When you feel out of place, you have a sense that it’s inappropriate for you to be there. A cowboy, for example, would probably feel out of place at a ballroom dance competition.

    The common phrase out of place is good for describing someone or something that doesn’t quite fit. It might be because it’s unseemly and wrong — like wearing a terrifying zombie mask to a kindergartner’s Halloween party. It might also be a more subtle sense that it’s not suitable — like a modern new house that looks out of place among your neighborhood’s old shingled cottages.
