英语词汇talk through one-s hat的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

talk through one’s hat. Since the phrase arose at about the time Benjamin Harrison was campaigning for the presidency in his tall handsome beaver hat, it has been suggested that his Democratic opponents coined the expression to help convince voters that Harrison was spouting nonsense in his speeches around the country. There isn’t any proof that Harrison’s trade- mark inspired the words, although cartoonists often carica- tured him in a big beaver hat. Like another Americanism of about the same time, keep this under your hat, “keep it secret or confidential,” the origins of the phrase are really unknown. The expression to eat one’s hat, appears to have been invented by Dickens in The Pickwick Papers.
