英语词汇john henry的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	john henry
词源	John Henry. Like John Hancock above, this is a synonym for a signature or name, but we don’t know how the term arose. There is probably no connection here with the black folk hero John Henry, who outdrove a steam drill with his hammer. John Henry originated in the American West as cowboy slang and that’s all anyone has been able to establish about it.
