英语词汇captain half-ass的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	captain half-ass
词源	Captain Half-Ass. Blackbeard, Diabolito, Long Knife, Cap- tain Buzzard, Gentleman Harry, Big John, Black Bart, and Cali- co Jack—these are only a few of the many pirates who chose to live under colorful pseudonyms that they invented or had be- stowed upon them. The pirate with the oddest nom de guerre, however, must be the 18th-century French pirate whose pseud- onym translates as Captain Half-Ass, an appellation about which history remains silent.
