词组 SWAMBO; swambo
释义 SWAMBO; swambo

a man’s wife or girlfriend; any woman in power US
A vocalized initialism for “She Who Must Be Obeyed.” The heroine of Henry Rider Haggard’s 1887 She: A History of Adventure is Queen Ayesha, who is referred to as “She Who Must Be Obeyed” or simply “She.” John Mortimer’s short stories, novels, and British television series Rumpole of the Bailey popularized the term in the 1980s, although SWAMBO seems to have emerged without a visible link to past usages of the full term.
  • Lemon juice, definitely. Works like magic. Or wear gloves and hear SWAMBO complain about the stained gloves. — Nuno Suto, rec.working, 27 November 1997
  • But she either got religion or snake-bit and turned GOP, though the newly ascended Sandy (“SWAMBO,” She Who Must Be Obeyed-whatta treat to respect that!) already mentioned the possibility of luring her pal Betty back to the fold. — Toledo Blade, p. B1, 6 May 2004
