英语词汇lining one-s pockets的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

lining one’s pockets. Despite all the other foppish British Beaus before and after Beau Brummell, only Brummell’s name lives on as a synonym for a dandy or fancy dresser. Beau Brum- mell, aided by the patronage of the Prince of Wales, later George IV, was the arbiter eleganitarum of London fashion for almost 20 years, a man noted for his excesses as well as his good taste; he often spent an entire day dressing for an affair, had all his gloves made by three glovers—one to fashion the hands, an- other for the fingers, and a third for the thumb, etc. So valued was his patronage that one tailor presented him with a coat whose pockets were lined with money, which gave rise to the expression lining one’s pockets, for “bribery or graft.”
