中文词源


chuff 乡下人,粗人

来自英语方言,指大胖子。并产生了两种截然不同的词义,一为好说话的胖子,弥勒佛似的。二为粗鲁的人,容易生气的人。

英文词源


chuff
"pleased, happy," c. 1860, British dialect, from obsolete chuff "swollen with fat" (1520s). A second British dialectal chuff has an opposite meaning, "displeased, gruff" (1832), from chuff "rude fellow," or, as Johnson has it, "a coarse, fat-headed, blunt clown" (mid-15c.), which is of unknown origin. Related: Chuffed.
