英语词汇john and jane doe的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

John and Jane Doe. John Doe is the oldest and most com- mon of names for the average American, Jane Doe not heard nearly as much. John Doe was being used in England as a sub- stitute name on legal documents by the 14th century and soon became a name for the common man, while Jane Doe was first recorded as his female counterpart in the late 1930s. Joe Doakes (1926), Joe Citizen (1932), Joe Average (1936), John Q. Public (1937), Joe Lunchpail (1965), and joe sixpack (1977) are other favorites, though hardly as widely used. These are all neutral terms. For derogatory names describing the average man we have Joe Blow, dating back to 1867 and still heard frequently, Joe Zilch (1925), and Joe Schmo (1950)—all of them treating the common man as a foolish nobody or worse. The British term for the average man is Joe Bloggs.
