词组 square from Delaware
释义 square from Delaware
noun
an exceptionally naive, conventional person US, 1938
Delaware exists for the rhyme; it is no more or less square than any other state. In the 1930s and 40s, there was a cottage industry in inventing terms along the line of this construction–a “clown from Allenton”, a “pester from Chester” and so on. The “square from Delaware” was one of the few that truly worked itself into speech.
  • — Lou Shelly, Hepcats Jive Talk Dictionary, p. 37, 1945
  • Even a square from Delaware should know God ain’t going to kiss your ass when you tell him no, you poor boob. — Iceberg Slim (Robert Beck), Pimp, p. 134, 1969
  • No, man, what we swingers were rebelling against were uptight squares like you, whose bag was money and world domination. — Austin Powers, 1997
