| 词源 | Jiminy Cricket. Pinocchio’s friend, whether Walt Disney knew it or not, bears a name that is a euphemism for Jesus Christ. An old one, too, the Jiminy portion dating back to 1664, when it was recorded as Gemini, probably deriving from the Latin Jesu domini. The mild exclamation of surprise Jimmy!, still heard occasionally, has the same origin, of course. See alsogee! |
