billingsgate粗俗话，下流话

【使用地区】：英国

【释义】：

Coarse and abusive language，similar to the talk of the fishwives in the Bil lingsgate fish market along the Thames River in London．The area was named for the man who built the gate below London Bridge leading to the old walled city．But exactly who built Billing’s Gate is really unknown．This British word has some American currency．

此词意为“粗俗话，下流话”，与比林斯门鱼市场里的女人们讲的话同样粗俗下流。比林斯门鱼市场位于伦敦泰晤士河上。这一地区是以建造此门的人的名字比林命名的。此门建于伦敦桥下，通往城墙里面的城市。但究竟是谁建造了比林斯门至今不得而知。这一英国英语用法在美国也有人用。
