词组 nimrod
释义 nimrod
noun
a fool, a stupid person, a bungler US, 1932
Jonathan Lighter writes that “currency of the term owes much to its appearance in a 1940s Warner Bros. cartoon in which Bugs Bunny refers to the hunter Elmer Fudd as ‘poor little Nimrod’”. It is not clear that watchers of the cartoon understood the C18 sense of the word as “a great hunter”, but the term has stuck.
