单词 dogs nose
释义

dog's nosen.

Brit. /ˈdɒɡz nəʊz/, U.S. /ˈdɔɡz ˌnoʊz/, /ˈdɑɡz ˌnoʊz/
Forms:

α. 1800s– dog's nose, 1800s– dogs nose.

β. 1900s– dog nose.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: dog n.1, nose n.
Etymology: In α. forms < the genitive of dog n.1 + nose n.; in β. forms < dog n.1 + nose n. The reason for the name is uncertain. Several 19th-cent. dictionaries of slang claim that it is because the mixture was as cold as a dog's nose. However, a great many alcoholic drinks are also cold, and compare quot. 1837 where the drink is said to be made from warm beer, and quot. 1889 on the drink's perceived warming qualities.
Now rare.
A drink made of beer and brandy or (more usually) gin, sometimes with other ingredients added (see quot. 1837).
