词汇 | thinks one hung the moon and stars |
词源 | thinks one hung the moon and stars. Someone who loves somebody madly, and blindly, as if that person were a god. Ac- cording to Professor Frederick Cassidy, who is in the process of compiling a monumental study of American regionalisms, this expression is a southernism. It has been around since at least early in this century and by now, deservedly, has spread to other regions of the country. |
