英语词汇bosey的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

bosey; googly. Bosey is a cricketing term familiar to Austral- ians but not much used anymore in England, where it originat- ed. The term honors the English bowler, B. J. T. Bosanquet, who popularized the technique known elsewhere as the googly when he toured Australia in 1903–04. The googly is, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, “an off-break ball bowled with leg- break action.” There is no popularly known technique in Amer- ican baseball, basketball, or football named after its player- inventor, so B. J. T. Bosanquet is somewhat unique in the world of sports.
