英语词汇that-s a hell of a note的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	that-s a hell of a note
词源	that’s a hell of a note. Note in this expression probably refers to a badly tuned note on a musical instrument, not a counter- feit banknote. The words mean “something disagreeably or un- pleasantly surprising”—“What a revoltin’ development!” as one TV comedian of old put it. The expression is an Americanism first recorded in 1871.
