bork 的詞源
bork(v.)
"通過猛烈攻擊候選人的職業和信仰來抹黑其形象",1987年,源自美國法官羅伯特·H· Bork(1927-2012)的名字。他在1987年被提名爲最高法院法官,但遭到了激烈的反對運動。這並非第一個被用作動詞的名字:
[John Quincy Adams's] printed assault upon Jonathan Russell—who had been so ill-advised as to cast doubts upon the patriotism of Adams's conduct at Ghent—was so deadly that for many years afterwards the vocabulary of America was increased, though not enriched, by the transitive verb "to Jonathan-Russell," meaning to pulverize an opponent. [George Dangerfield, "The Era of Good Feeling," 1953]
[約翰·昆西·亞當斯] 對喬納森·拉塞爾的攻擊——他曾不明智地對亞當斯在根特的行爲表示懷疑——是如此致命,以至於多年後美國的詞彙量增加了,儘管沒有豐富,其中包括及物動詞“喬納森-拉塞爾”,意思是粉碎對手。[喬治·丹傑菲爾德,《好感時代》,1953年]
