catbird词源

catbird (n.)

1731, common name for the North American thrush (Dumetella Carolinensis), so called from its warning cry, which resembles that of a cat; from cat (n.) + bird (n.1). Catbird seat is a 19c. Dixieism, popularized by Brooklyn Dodgers baseball announcer Red Barber and by author James Thurber (1942).

\"She must be a Dodger fan,\" he had said. \"Red Barber announces the Dodger games over the radio and he uses those expressions--picked \'em up down South.\" Joey had gone on to explain one or two. \"Tearing up the pea patch\" meant going on a rampage; \"sitting in the catbird seat\" means sitting pretty, like a batter with three balls and no strikes on him. [James Thurber, \"The Catbird Seat,\" \"The New Yorker,\" Nov. 14, 1942]
