词汇 reflipe w thanuz
词源
Reflipe W. Thanuz. Early in the 19th century William Ran- dolph Hearst’s New York Journal editors, suspecting that the New York World was ransacking its obituary columns, faked an obituary for one Reflipe W. Thanuz. The World promptly stole it, only to have their rival point out that Reflipe W. was “we pil- fer” spelled backward and that Thanuz was a phonetic spelling of “the news.” When enough time had passed, the World avenged itself by planting the name Lister A. Raah in a news story. After printing it, the Journal learned that this was an ana- gram of “Hearst is a liar.”
