| 词汇 | ‘shit’ said the queen |
| 词源 | “ ‘Shit!’ said the Queen. . . .” An old story, unproved one way or the other, has it that those good friends Rudyard Kipling and Mark Twain had a contest between them to see who could write the bawdiest, most offensive story. An effort of Kipling’s beginning “ ‘Shit!’ said the Queen . . .” was brought to an una- mused Queen Victoria’s attention, which is why Kipling was never knighted and never became poet laureate. |
