词汇	gtt
词源	G.T.T. A historical term common in the 19th century stand- ing for “Gone to Texas,” apparently derived from G.T.T. signs that emigrants hung on the doors of their homes and businesses when they went west. Soon these initials came to be entered by lawmen in their record books when a wanted man couldn’t be located. Finally, they became a designation for any disreputable man.
