词组 gal
释义 gal
noun
a woman or a girl UK, 1795
This gal is a woman with a chequered history: “Cockney for girl,” 1824, but then the pronunciation worked its way up the social ladder until, by about 1840, it was quite upper-class. From around 1850 a “gal” was a “servant girl” or a “harlot,” and from about 1860, a “sweetheart” as used by Albert Chevalier in My Old Dutch, 1893. The current sense is recorded in US jazz and jive circles from the 1930s. By the turn of the millennium, having passed through respectability once again, “gal” was patronising or kitsch, and rarely found without “guys”.
