| 词汇 | banned in boston |
| 词源 | banned in Boston. In its heyday during the 1920s the phrase banned in Boston made a number of books best-sellers through- out the rest of the country. Books were frequently banned in Boston for foolish reasons at the time because the local ultra- conservative Watch and Ward Society wielded great power in the city. This is no longer the case, but the expression is still used jokingly. |
