| 词汇 | put in one-s two cents’ worth |
| 词源 | put in one’s two cents’ worth. The oldest recorded use I can find for this American phrase, which means to interfere or meddle, to butt into a conversation, dates back to only 1945, but it must be much older. The similar British saying, “to put one’s oar in another’s boat,” dates to at least 1500, and the simi- lar but little-known come in with one’s five eggs is two or three centuries old. |
