词汇 we wuz robbed
词源
we wuz robbed. When Jack Sharkey won a decision over Max Schmeling in 1932 to take the world heavyweight champion- ship, Schmeling’s manager Joe Jacobs grabbed the radio fight announcer’s mike and shouted “We wuz robbed!” to a million Americans, his words still a comic protest heard from losers in any endeavor. Jacobs’s I should of stood in bed is even more commonly used in fun. He said it after leaving his sickbed to watch the 1935 World Series in Detroit. According to John Lardner’s Strong Cigars and Lovely Women (1951), Bartlett’s is wrong in saying Jacobs made the remark to sportswriters in New York after returning from Detroit, and it had nothing to do with his losing a bet that Detroit would win the Series. Jacobs made the remark, Lardner says, in the press box during the opening game of the Series, when “an icy wind was curdling his blood” at the coldest ball game anyone could remember.
