词汇 every man jack
词源
every man jack. Everybody without exception, even the most insignificant. This apparently isn’t a nautical phrase; at least it is first recorded by Dickens in Barnaby Rudge (1840). Dickens may have coined the precise phrase, but Shakespeare used a similar term in the same sense in Cymbeline: “Every Jack-slave hath his belly full of fighting.”
