英语词汇joe echoes的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	joe echoes
词源	Joe Echoes. People who were called Echoes in late-19th- century and early-20th-century America (Joe Echoes, Johnny Echoes, Eddie Echoes, etc.) weren’t called that because they echoed other people’s words. Those bearing this common nick- name, usually the offspring of poor, recent immigrants, often echoed themselves, in sentences like “I betcha ya can’t do it, I betcha,” or “I tell ya it’s mine, I tell ya!”
