英语词汇ugh的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	ugh
词源	ugh! There is no record of an American Indian ever uttering the sound “ugh” when he or she meant “yes” or “hello.” The term can be traced to dime romances about the American West popular at the turn of the century, its use perpetuated by early American motion pictures. As a sound of contempt and disgust ugh is first recorded in 1837 but is probably much older.
