词组 | fainits!; fain I!; fains!; fain it!; faynights!; fainites! |
释义 | fainits!; fain I!; fains!; fain it!; faynights!; fainites! used to call a playground truce UK, 1870 Schoolchildren’s use, probably from conventional “feign” (to pretend) hence “to shirk”, “to evade”; often used in conjunction with a fingers-crossed gesture, the middle finger twisted over and around the forefinger, in the traditional sign of the cross, hence the call for truce may actually be a plea for sanctuary derived from conventional “fen”, corrupted from French fend (to forbid); note also “forfend” (to protect) as in the phrase “Heaven forfend”.
