词汇 | cymling |
词源 | cymling. A stupid person is called a cymling head after the small, round variety of melon or squash called the cymling (Cucurbita pepo melopepo). In the U.S. the melon is often called a “simling,” which better shows its origins—its name derives from its shape resembling the fruitcake called a simnel cake. Other names for the cymling are the scallop squash and the pattycake squash. |
