英语词汇never up never in的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	never up never in
词源	never up, never in. Its sexual implications have helped this golfing expression last since the early 1920s as a catchphrase of pessimism. It means, literally, never up near the hole with the first putt, never in the hole with the second put. Or else it means “don’t leave it short,” if you don’t putt hard enough to reach the hole it can’t go in.
