Henry the Seventh’.)" Equally, the ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' contains no Obadiah Bull. (OED gives the etymology " ''boul'', ''boule'', ''bole'' fraud, deceit, trickery; mod() Icel() ''bull'' ‘nonsense’; also M() E() ''bull'' BUL ‘falsehood’, and BULL v.3, to befool, mock, cheat.") :::(Bull is said to have been an Irish lawyer who lived and practised in London during the reign of Henry VII. His last name is supposed to have been the origin of the term "That's a Bull", for nonsense or a blunder made by an Irishman. He was known to make absurd, half-nonsensical statements that contradicted themselves. A type of Irish joke, an "Irish bull" is styled after these. :::The term first occurs in a periodical, The British Apollo, in 1740. ) ==References== 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「Obadiah Bull」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.
