scrod(n.)
1841年,“一条年轻的鳕鱼,切成片状煎或煮”,这是一个源自新英格兰的词语,起源不确定,可能来自荷兰语 schrood “切下的一块”,源自中古荷兰语 scrode “碎片”(与古英语 screade “切下的一块”同源; 参见 shred(n.))。如果这是起源,那么这个概念可能是将鱼切成块状晾干或烹饪。
A Boston brahmin is on a business trip to Philadelphia. In search of dinner, and hungry for that Boston favorite, broiled scrod, he hops into a cab and asks the driver, "My good man, take me someplace where I can get scrod." The cabbie replies, "Pal, that's the first time I've ever been asked that in the passive pluperfect subjunctive." [an old joke in Philadelphia, this version of it from "Vex, Hex, Smash, Smooch," Constance Hale, 2012]
