英语词汇sweet talk的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	sweet talk
词源	sweet talk; sweet mouth. Sweet talk is smooth, unctuous flattery designed to win over a person. There is no proof of it, but this southern Americanism possibly comes from Krio, an English-based Creole of Sierra Leone, specifically from the ex- pression swit mot, sweet mouth, for “flattery.” To sweet mouth someone is the opposite of to bad-mouth him.
