英语词汇shavian wit的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Shavian wit. George Bernard Shaw contributed his own name to the language in a characteristically clever way. Not lik- ing the way “Shawian” sounded, he Latinized his name to Shavius and coined the adjective Shavian from it, leaving us with a sample of his Shavian wit. Shaw died in 1950, aged 94, his wit Shavian till the end. However, even he could be bested occasionally. “Isn’t it true, my dear, that male judgment is supe- rior to female judgment?” Shaw once asked his wife. “Of course, dear,” she replied, pausing briefly. “After all, you married me and I you.” See also superman.
