英语词汇lug的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

lug. Ultimately of Scandinavian origin, lug in American slang means “a clumsy fool, a blockhead;” as in “Get out of here, you big lug.” Today the word is often used lightly or hu- morously. In Scotland lug means “a person’s ear,” as it does in Parson Mason Locke Weems’ The Life and Memorable Actions of George Washington (c. 1800). Washington probably was one of Weems’ parishioners and the Episcopal clergyman was the first to spread the legend of little George chopping down the cherry tree.
