stroppy 的词源
stroppy(adj.)
“叛逆者”,到1943年,这个词在英国海军俚语中出现,可能是对obstreperous的俚语化扭曲。《海上航程:海军选集及英语研究导论》[1943年,Geoffrey Callender]中引用了一封信:
Why Nobby should reckon that his raggie should blow the gaff, when there are crushers everywhere, leaves me guessing; but there it is. In the last dog he rounded on me and called me a white rat. I got stroppy and told him he was shooting a line: but all he said was, 'Oh! choke your luff! I'm looking for another oppo you snivelling sand-catcher.' So that looks like paying off.
我真搞不懂Nobby为什么认为他的raggie会泄密,明明周围有那么多监视者。但事情就是这样。在最后一刻,他转过身来叫我白鼠。我有点生气,告诉他他在胡说八道;但他只说,‘哦!闭嘴吧!我在找另一个伙伴,你这个爱哭的沙子捕手。’看来这像是在还债。
(Callender补充道:“这封信中没有任何一名现役军人无法理解的内容。”)
