词组 Canuck
释义 Canuck
noun
a Canadian, especially a French Canadian US, 1835
Insulting. Most likely to be heard in portions of the US bordering Canada. During the 1972 campaign for US President, a newspaper in New Hampshire printed an anonymous letter accusing candidate Senator Muskie of having used the term “Canuck” to describe the state’s French-Canadian population. The sound and fury created by the accusation stunned Muskie, and by the time it was learnt that the letter had been a concoction of President Nixon’s election campaign the damage had been done.
