词组	pie-eater
释义	pie-eater noun a person of no consequence AUSTRALIA, 1944 Calling to mind an image of someone whose principal fare is the meat pie, in other words, a person with a mundane and narrow view of the world judging by their culinary habits. It is claimed that the word was coined during World War 2, and referred then specifically to conscripted criminals who deserted and thence scrounged free pies from the army buffet in Hyde Park, Sydney. There may be some truth in this, but there is an example of “pie-biter” dating to 1911, and so perhaps “pie-eater” may also predate the war. It started when Ted Barnes, the eminent sporting writer, called the Australian cricket team a bunch of pie-eaters. — Woman’s Weekly, p. 56, 5 September 1956 To a visitor or newcomer to Australia, it may seem strange that pie eater is a term of opprobium in a nation that must be the world’s greatest eaters of pastry. — Arthur Chipper, The Aussie Swearer’s Guide, p. 47, 1972 — Jim Ramsay, Cop It Sweet!, p. 70, 1977
