词组 spit and image
释义 spit and image
noun
an exact likeness of someone or something UK, 1895
The surviving form of “spit and fetch” (image, picture), in which “spit” is surely the substance of a body, or perhaps its corrupted “spirit” and the noun with which it is combined represents an outer-appearance, (“fetch” is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as “the apparition, double or wraith of a living person”); “spit and” has varied in dialect use to spitten leading, ultimately, to the conventional synonym: “spitting image”.
  • From the outside, the new [Lincoln] Navigator is the spit and image of the original[.] — Car and Driver (US), June 2002
