词汇	going going gone
词源	going . . . going . . . gone. Any New York Yankee fan of the 1950s will remember this phrase, which became the trademark of Yankee radio announcer Mel Allen (1913–96) in describing a home run or a hit in the process of becoming a home run. Just as well known were the native Alabamian’s words How ’bout that?, a comment about how pleasing or depressing or dramatic something was.
