| 词汇 | not worth a hannah cook |
| 词源 | not worth a Hannah Cook. Worthless, of no account, as in “He’s not worth a Hannah Cook.” The expression originally was nautical, but no one has identified a real no-account Hannah Cook behind the phrase. It may be folk etymology for hand or cook, hands and cooks aboard ships making less money than other seamen and thus having lower status. |
