词汇 | lost in the world |
词源 | lost in the world. A current saying I’ve heard discrediting someone who is pathetically helpless, childlike, bewildered, unable to deal with reality much of the time, sometimes men- tally ill. Perhaps there is a connection with lost generation after World War I, or with homeless people living on the streets today, but I can find no evidence of either origin. |
