英语词汇wildean的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Wildean. For the British writer and wit Oscar Wilde (1854– 1900). His much publicized affairs and trial made his first name a British slang expression for a homosexual, to Oscar, Oscarizing, and Oscar-Wilding, in fact, meaning active homo- sexuality. Wilde is also represented by Wildean, referring to his razor-sharp wit. In this respect he was probably even great- er than George Bernard Shaw. Once Wilde told a customs in- spector that he had nothing to declare but his genius; another time he remarked to some proud chamber of commerce types that Niagara Falls “would be more spectacular if it flowed the other way.”
