词汇 | to go into an irish sulk |
词源 | to go into an Irish sulk. Few can turn a lively phrase as well as the Irish. But they can be as blue as they are joyful, which ex- plains the Canadian (mostly Newfoundland) expression to go into an Irish sulk, to sulk or become morose, usually after ex- hibiting high spirits. Possibly an Irish resident coined the phrase. |
