| 词汇 | jumping jehoshaphat |
| 词源 | Jumping Jehoshaphat! The original Jehoshaphat of the ex- clamation was the ninth-century king of Judah, an ally of the kingdom of Israel. In relatively modern times Jehoshaphats has also become a slang synonym for breasts. This latest synonym is not recorded in any slang dictionary but is noted in Chris Miller’s The Real Animal House (2006) along with a half-dozen others. Holy Jumping Jehoshaphats! is a variation. See Jezebel. |
