英语词汇walter winchell的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Walter Winchell. A sensationalist New York newspaper col- umnist who coined or popularized many slang terms from the 1920s to 1950s. Damon Runyon used him as the model for Waldo Winchester in “Romance and the Roaring Forties” (1929), his first Broadway story and probably the first story with a newspaper columnist of the Winchell type as the central character. Winchell had many admirers, but many detractors as well. While they were fishing in the gulf of California, John Steinbeck and his friend Doc Ricketts noticed a little fish that lived in the cloaca of the sea cucumber and kept darting in and out of the creature’s anus. They named the hitherto unrecorded fish Proctophilus winchilli after the gossip columnist who got all the latest dirt.
