释义 bluenose
noun
a Nova Scotian CANADA, 1785
This persistent nickname for residents of the province has several suggested origins, starting of course with the colour the nose turns in cold weather on a fishing boat, as well as an attribution by Canadian author Charles G.D. Roberts to the fame of a privateer from the province which had a blue cannon in the prow.
  • The Loyalists who were mostly called “blues” from the names of their regiments, such as Royal Blues, Jersey Blues, etc, together with the former inhabitants who remained loyal to the Crown, met to count noses and see who could be relied upon: a Bluenose. — Yarmouth Vanguard, 16 July 1980
