chuff 乡下人，粗人
来自英语方言，指大胖子。并产生了两种截然不同的词义，一为好说话的胖子，弥勒佛似的。二为粗鲁的人，容易生气的人。
英文词源
- chuff
- "pleased, happy," c. 1860, British dialect, from obsolete chuff "swollen with fat" (1520s). A second British dialectal chuff has an opposite meaning, "displeased, gruff" (1832), from chuff "rude fellow," or, as Johnson has it, "a coarse, fat-headed, blunt clown" (mid-15c.), which is of unknown origin. Related: Chuffed.
