英语词汇all chiefs and no indians的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

all chiefs and no Indians. Many businesses have experienced trouble because they had all chiefs and no Indians, that is, too many officers who want to do nothing but give orders to others. The origin of this common worker’s complaint has been traced to about 1940 in Australia, where the expression was first all chiefs and no Indians, like the University Regiment. Yet the first half of the expression has an American ring, and one suspects that some determined word sleuth might turn up an earlier printed use in the United States.
