词汇 john wayne
词源
John Wayne. The term John Wayne (the movie name of Mar- ion Morrison, 1909–79) can mean a “heroic person” or a “reck- less, daring showy person,” due to Wayne’s star movie roles and his off-camera political views. No one knows how long any of these will last, but John Wayne has become the word for about 10 other things, including a John Wayne bar, an Army-field- ration candy bar; a John Wayne cookie or cracker, also Army field rations; a John Wayne hat, a bush hat; and John Wayne High School, after those who quit school to join the army. To John Wayne is to attack someone forcefully with little or no consideration.
