早在19世纪，英国人出门常常乘坐“公共马车”。据说，马车车主大都疼爱自己的“马”，常常利用休息日装扮成乘客，偷偷坐在自家的马车上，以确保车夫善待马匹。久而久之，“a busman's holiday”应运而生，用来形容“没有休息的节假日”。

【每日潮词】“逗比”都是萌萌哒！
Dobe is the Japanese slang word for “idiot”. Chinese youngsters use it to refer to a ridiculous person who is a stranger, or a funny one who is a friend.
“逗比”是日语里用来形容笨蛋的俚语。中国的年轻人用它来形容那些荒唐的陌生人或好笑的朋友。

We can comprehend this composite word as a funny 2B. Simply put, it means someone is funny, a little silly and cute. With its widespread use, more and more people consider it a neutral word. If we use it to describe a stranger, we are more talking of a stupid stranger. If it alludes to a friend, then it is used to mock and make fun of the friend.
根据合成词原则可以理解为：挺逗的二比。简单的说，就是说某个人很逗，有点犯二犯傻，有点可爱。随着它的使用范围逐步扩大，越来越多人将它用作中性词。如果对陌生人说，指别人是傻叉的意思多一点。如果是好朋友之间说，那就是调侃和玩笑的意思多一点！
