英语词汇poke fun at的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	poke fun at
词源	poke fun at; poke. To poke fun at has meant to ridicule since at least 1837, when it is first recorded in Barham’s Ingoldsby Legends: “Poking your fun at us plain-dealing folk.” A poke in this case isn’t a bag (as in a pig in a poke), of course, but a thrust or dig with the fingers.
