词组 Jacky
释义 Jacky
noun
a kookaburra AUSTRALIA, 1898
sit up like Jacky
to sit up straight in a perky or self-important manner AUSTRALIA, 1941
Baker (1945) suggests that this refers to sitting up straight “as an aboriginal is supposed to do in company with whites”, though it should be noted that the kookaburra habitually sits up on an exposed branch or fencetop surveying an area of ground for insect and reptile food, and impertinently ignores the frequent attacks of other birds.
