单词 old gold
释义

old goldn.adj.

Brit. /ˌəʊl(d) ˈɡəʊld/, U.S. /ˌoʊl(d) ˈɡoʊld/
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: old adj., gold n.1
Etymology: < old adj. + gold n.1The precise semantic motivation of sense A. 1 is unclear; the use is probably ironic (old gold was often of a purer quality, and hence more valuable). Perhaps compare earlier gold-finder n. 2. With sense A. 2 compare German Altgold (late 19th cent. or earlier in this sense; also more usually ‘old gold, (specifically) discarded jewellery, etc.’).
A. n.
1. slang. Excrement, dung. Obsolete.
