- hot dog




- also hotdog, "sausage on a split roll," c. 1890, popularized by cartoonist T.A. Dorgan. It is said to echo a 19c. suspicion (occasionally justified) that sausages contained dog meat. Meaning "someone particularly skilled or excellent" (with overtones of showing off) is from 1896. Connection between the two senses, if any, is unclear. Hot dog! as an exclamation of approval was in use by 1906.
中文词源
hotdog(热狗):夹着腊肠狗香肠的面包
hotdog (热狗)其实是香肠的一种搭配吃法,即用两片面包夹着一根香肠。香肠最早源自德国,尤其以法兰克福小香肠最为著名。这种小香肠流传到美国后,美国人给它起了一个别名,叫做“德希臣狗香肠”(dachshund sausage)。德希臣狗俗称“腊肠狗”,体长腿短, 形似腊肠,并且又产自德国,所以美国人便用这种狗的名字来称呼法兰克福小香肠。当时, 最流行的吃法是用两片面包夹着一条热香肠吃。在美国棒球赛场上,到处都有背着保温袋的 小贩们在叫卖“get your hot dachshund sausage! ”(快来买热乎乎的德希臣狗香肠)。1906年, 一位报社漫画家塔德将这副情景画成一幅漫画。但他不知道如何拼写单词dachshund,于是 就写了个dog (狗)。于是,小贩口中的“hot dachshund sausage”就变成了 hot dog (热狗)。 没想到这一错误写法居然大受欢迎。从此以后,这种夹有香肠的面包都被统称为hotdog (热狗)。
