词汇 mickey mouse rules
词源
Mickey Mouse rules. One theory holds that World War II U.S. Navy Military Indoctrination Centers, or M.I.C.’s, where undisciplined sailors were restrained, gave their initials to this expression for petty rules. The term has been around since early in World War II and probably can be explained by the fact that such rules seem silly and childish, like mickey mouse cartoons. Mickey Mouse was better honored when his name became the password chosen by intelligence officers in planning the great- est invasion in the history of warfare—Normandy, 1944. Mick- ey Mouse diagrams were maps made for plotting positions of convoys and bombarding forces at Normandy.
