| 词汇 | hotcha |
| 词源 | hotcha. The Spanish word muchacha, for “a girl,” may be the source of this expression of delight, pleasure, or approval over seeing someone sexually attractive. Hotcha, a favorite of Jimmy Durante, isn’t used much anymore and could simply be an elaboration of Ah-hah! rather than a corruption of the Spanish exclamation for “What a girl!” It doesn’t have anything to do with cha, the Cantonese word for tea that the British occasion- ally use. |
