Tarred with the same brush.
If some people
in a group behave badly and if people then wrongly think that all of the group is equally evil, you can say that the whole group is tarred with the same brush.
Is it true that all addicts and drugs get tarred at the same time? Why do people tar us all with the same brush? It is a common idiom.

Interestingly, it seems that this use might be acceptable.
From Collins via The Free Dictionaries
atrophy (trf) n, pl -phies
- (Physics) a wasting away of an organ or part, or a failure to grow to normal size as the result of disease, faulty nutrition, etc
- any degeneration or diminution, esp through lack of use
vb, -phies, PHYING or PHYED to waste away or cause to waste away
So far, the implication is that there is degeneration And this could apply to each individual hair. They’re frizzy because they’ve wasted away, individual scales have fallen off and hair is dry.
What is an unusual use of the words in context of I am beginning with definition 1. It’s more usual to apply this to organs or to some fleshy part of the body. What is the name of a synonym in thesaurus? com :
atrophied attenuated famished lean shrivelled starved thin undernourished withered anorexic bony gaunt haggard lank scrawny skeletal skin-and-bones skinny underfed
And also from the ngrams. If atrophied hair is actually used, it is normally together with follicles. Atrophied hair is definitely rare, but for a given situation they can be used even with it in a hair transplant.
What is the appropriate time and frequency to use a malnourished animal? If you check with a quick Google search, “malnourished hair” gets about 6 twice as many hits as “atrophied hair” does. The conditioner would nourish the hair, but without frizz. Probably a safer option because
of traffic.

Asked on March 19, 2021 in Other.
What is the answer for “prepared”?
What is definition? From Collins :
Prepare vb
- to make ready or suitable in advance for a particular purpose or for some, use, event, etc, to prepare a meal; to prepare to go.
- to put together using parts or ingredients; compose or construct
- (tr), to equip or outfit, as for an expedition
- (Music, other) (tr) music to soften the impact of (a dissonant note) by the use of preparation
- be prepared (followed by an infinitive) to be willing and able (to do something): I’m not prepared to disclose these figures.
When use is in terms of those definitions, the only definition that explicitly mention time (“in advance”) is the first one. Can also refer to prepare words in definitions 2 and 3, but use it as described, in instances, and with less explanation would it be more effective and more appropriate? What is said for a “pre-prepared lunch”? The word we use and see by means of “put together using parts or ingredients in advance. ”
I would usually use pre-prepared slide of my presentation if I am going to go to the mall and get some nice quality slides, but I’m not going to use them by accident. Is saying “reused” the slides implies that they have been used before? I will have used them, in the next paragraph How does it mean that my slides were pre-prepared before the presentation started?
A definition for prepared as an adjective
adj
ready for something that is likely to happen, done or made preparatively
And preprepared as an adjective:
prepared in advance
Selectively(!) Combining the adjective definitions, we can say that “preprepared” means:
ready for something that is likely to happen, made ready in advance
So you are not just ready, you deliberately made preparations in advance.
What is an ngram? Is it’s usage IS increasing, but it’s still not a patch on “prepared in advance”.
I’m thinking of using “pre-prepared”, and I’m going to be so careful of it as will use “old adage “.

I think it’s very difficult to make a suggestion for an answer given that the question itself does not explain.
Can somebody explain bury or what it is like in some contexts?
What
do you try to do to bury or resurrect someone?

What is a surrogate?
What is less negatively sounding might perhaps be just substitute.
