英语词汇hard-on的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

hard-on; heart-on; horny. The taboo slang term for an erec- tion is often slurred in speech out of embarrassment, so that it is difficult to tell if the first word is pronounced hard or heart. Both words are actually used interchangeably in the expres- sion, hard obviously referring to the erect penis and heart per- haps referring to the shape of the glans of the membrum virile. The term goes back only to about 1860 and was preceded in use by the expression to have the horn, which gives us the slang horny: lustful, sexually aroused.
