词组 catch colt
释义 catch colt
noun
an illegitimate child US, 1901
  • A catch colt is a colt with an unknown sire. The term is applied euphemistically to the human condition. It sounds nicer to say that he is a catch colt than to say that no one, except perhaps his mother (and maybe not even she) knows who his father is. — Chris Thain, Cold as a Bay Street Banker’s Heart, p. 35, 1987
