英语词汇old hat的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	old hat
词源	old hat. Today old hat means out of date or not new, and it has meant this for at least a century. But back as early as 1754 it was “used by the vulgar in no very honorable sense,” as Fielding put it. It then meant, in Grose’s punning definition from his 1785 Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue: “a woman’s privities: because frequently felt.”
