| 词源 | 19th hole. Mencken calls the 19th hole “the one American contribution to the argot of golf.” While this isn’t quite true (par, birdie, eagle, chip, and sudden death are among U.S.- invented golf terms) the expression has been with us at least since the early 1920s and means “a convivial gathering place,” such as a locker room or bar, after a game of golf. |
