词汇 | x rated |
词源 | X rated. In 1968 the Motion Picture Association of America began to rate films as a guide for moviegoers. Their system ranged from G, “general, all ages permitted,” to X, “restricted, no one under 17 admitted.” The X rating referred to explicit sex and violence in a movie and became so common that x-rated almost immediately became a term for anything pornographic or sexy, from a film to a book or even a person! |
