词汇 | king bomba |
词源 | King Bomba. King Bomba is an expression rarely used today, but might well be revived. The original King Bomba was Ferdi- nand II (1810–59) of Naples, who reigned from 1830–59. At one point in his reactionary reign the treacherous monarch held 40,000 political prisoners. He was called King Bomba for his ruthless bombardment of Sicilian cities in 1848, in which much damage was done, many atrocities committed, and many innocent people hurt. King Bombas, whatever their motives, have been all too common. |
