翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Doing a Cunningham ： ウィキペディア英語版 Doing a Cunningham The idiom "Doing a Cunningham" is of common usage in England, especially Cumbria, and refers to someone or something that has caused damage during an attempt to fix or mend an item. ==Origin== Doing a Cunningham derives from the late 19th century. Rumour has it that is stems from a time when a man, Winston Cunningham, was hired to renovate a house but instead caused it to fall down after damaging the foundations, although there is no firm evidence as to this being a genuine source. It is believed that the phrase could have originated from the references to the name "Cunningham" or "Mr Cunningham", which were frequently used in the late 18th century as a reference name for ''"a fool or gullible person"''. This was an ironic pun on Standard English ''cunning'' and ''-ham'' (a suffix meaning place), and was shown in ''Cassell's Dictionary of Slang'' by Jonathon Green, as well as in other forms of slang dictionary. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Doing a Cunningham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
