英语词汇broderick的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

broderick. His tactics wouldn’t be officially approved today, but Johnny (The Boffer) Broderick is still remembered as a tough New York City cop who relied on his fists as much as his police revolver. Known as the world’s toughest cop, Detective Broderick worked “the Broadway beat,” dealing out punish- ment with his fists on the spot so often that to broderick became a synonym for “to clobber.” Broderick once flattened the hood- lum Jack (Legs) Diamond, and he knocked out and captured Francis (Two-Gun) Crowley before Crowley could find the courage to shoot. Another time he battered two men molesting a woman, threw them through a plate-glass window and then arrested them for malicious destruction of property. In fact, Bellevue Hospital used him as an exhibit to show how much punishment the human hand could take. Broderick, an image of sartorial splendor, was used as a bodyguard by many celebri- ties, including Franklin Roosevelt and Jack Dempsey. Dempsey confessed that the detective was the only man he wouldn’t care to fight outside the ring. This graduate of New York’s gashouse district was immortalized by Damon Runyon as Johnny Bran- nigan and played by Edward G. Robinson in Bullets or Ballots. By the time he retired in 1947, after 25 years on the force, Brod- erick had won eight medals for heroism. Broadway gamblers once gave 9–5 odds that he would be killed on any given day, but he died in his bed in 1966, 72 years old.
