Знаешь такое выражение, старое, еще века с 18-го: "огни рампы"?

По Ожегову, рампа - это "низкий барьер вдоль авансцены, закрывающий от зрителей осветительные приборы, направленные на сцену". И других толкований слову "рампа" Ожегов не дает. Это в английском слово Ramp означает съезд с дороги и еще много чего...
