英语词汇hate someone-s guts的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

hate someone’s guts; have his guts for garters. The former phrase is first recorded in a 1901 letter to Teddy Roosevelt from William Allen White, famous independent publisher and edi- tor of the (Kansas) Emporia Gazette. White, however, used the euphemism intestines in his letter: “I hate his intestines. It seems to me that there is no man in American politics that I have such an utter loathing and contempt for.” The latter guts phrase sounds as if it might be from Texas, but I cannot find it recorded anywhere. I’ve heard it two or three times, as in “He’d better be on time or I’ll have his guts for garters!”
