词汇 | that-s george |
词源 | that’s George. Some anonymous eponymous George may have inspired the coining of that’s George, or that’s real George, but no one has ever revealed a real George behind the words. That’s George, meaning “excellent, great, or fine” (“That’s a real George car he’s got there”) was first recorded in 1930, far too late for George Washington or George III to be responsible, as someone has suggested. |
