单词 | a bun in the oven |
释义 | > as lemmasa bun in the oven a. A sort of cake: the use differs greatly in different localities, but the word generally denotes in England a sweet cake (usually round) not too large to be held in the hand while being eaten. In Scotland it usually means a very rich description of cake, the substance of which is almost entirely composed of fruit and spice; the richest kind of currant bread. In some places, as in the north of Ireland, it means a round loaf of ordinary bread. In the earliest examples the meaning is doubtful, the context merely indicating some kind of loaf or cake. (See cross-bun n.) Slang phrases: to take the bun, to take the cake (see cake n. 9); a bun in the oven, a child conceived; to do one's bun (New Zealand slang), to lose one's temper.
