| 词汇 | kill the people |
| 词源 | kill the people! Thelma Ritter, playing a maid, says this to Bette Davis before she goes on stage in the classic American film All About Eve (1950). It is apparently a phrase, like break a leg! (qv), that means good luck in theatrical circles, though I suspect it is not much used today. |
