英语词汇get more bang for the buck的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

get more bang for the buck. These words, frequently heard today, have nothing to do with sex and ladies of the night, as has been suggested, although bang is slang for copulate. The expression means to get more value for your money and was apparently coined by President Dwight Eisenhower’s defense secretary, Charles E. Wilson, in applauding a policy aiming for “more basic [national] security at less cost.” Wilson’s words were more exactly, “a bigger bang for the buck,” and bang here means “firepower,” not sex. More details can be found in William Safire’s The New Language of Politicians (1968).
