grandma偷伐树木

【使用地区】：美国阿巴拉契亚山区

【释义】：

To cut down and steal timber from someone else’s property；perhaps so called because an anonymous highlander who stole timber explained that he got it from“grandma’s”place．Another theory has this unusual word deriving from an old story or joke about a man accused of stealing another’s timber and finally admitting that“Grandmaw might have taken a few sticks．”A grandmawer is someone who steals timber．

此词意义如上所示。此名或许是因为有位不知名的山地人偷了树木后解释说，他是从“老太太”那儿拿来的。另一种理论认为，该词源于一个古老的故事或笑话，讲的是一个被指控偷了另一个人树木的男子最后承认，“Grandmaw可能拿了一些柴火”。grandmawer意为“偷树木的人”。
