goddam英国人

【使用地区】：法国

【释义】：

English—speaking people have been quick on the draw with curses since earliest times．So often did the English in medieval times take the Lord’sname in vain，for example，that the French called them goddams．Later，in the American Southeast，Native Americans gave the Anglos the same name for the same reason．

此词字面意思是“该死的”，指“英国人”。法国人称英国人为“该死的”，因为自古以起，操英语的人善于用诅咒来占据上风。例如中世纪的英国人常滥用上帝之名，以至于法国人称他们为goddams。后来在美国东南部，印第安人因相同的原因也把来自英国的殖民者称之为“该死的”。
