英语词汇can’t walk and chew gum at the same time的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	can’t walk and chew gum at the same time
词源	can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. Is unusually stu- pid. We have it on the authority of John Kenneth Galbraith that President Lyndon Johnson said Congressman Gerald Ford “can’t fart and chew gum at the same time,” which may be an old expression common in Johnson’s home state of Texas. In any case, by the time Ford became president after Richard Nix- on’s resignation, the words had been laundered to can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.
