词组 Dad's Army
释义 Dad's Army
nickname
the Home Guard (1940–45); hence, any grouping of older men with a united purpose UK, 1968
Gently derogatory. The term survives essentially as a piece of familiar nostalgia mainly because of the popularity of BBC television comedy series Dad’s Army (1968–77, and which is still being repeated in 2012). The modern sense is therefore informed by the nature of the characters in the programme; variously bumptious and bumbling, etc.
  • [On the QE2] a Dad’s Army of doddery doctors, senescent solicitors, geriatric taxi drivers and antiquated accountants. — The Guardian, 14 October 2001
