| 词汇 | dogmerd |
| 词源 | dogmerd. British novelist Anthony Burgess apparently in- vented this new word in the 1980s, employing the English dog and the French merde (for “excrement”). It is a word more adult than all other euphemisms we have for good old Anglo-Saxon expressions, and yet it conveys the nose-squinching reaction one has to stepping in the stuff. The word merd for excrement has of course been used in English for centuries, first recorded in 1477 and employed by Ben Jonson and Richard Burton, among other great writers. |
