| 词汇 | ouija board |
| 词源 | ouija board. The ouija board (pronounced “wee-jee board”) was apparently intended to answer most questions put to it in the affirmative. Its name is simply a combination of the French oui, “yes,” and the German ja, “yes.” Obviously its inventor intended to stress the positive, to stress hope, whether the play- er be of French or Teutonic background. |
