| 词汇 | queen-s taste |
| 词源 | queen’s taste. To the queen’s taste means completely, thor- oughly, utterly. The queen’s taste, the most discriminating in the land, would demand the best, something completely or thoroughly done. No one has been able to connect any specific queen with this phrase, which is, oddly, an Americanism and not British in origin, dating back to the late 19th century. |
