俚语 quim-faced loon
释义

quim-faced loon

(Shakespearean). An insult, bowdlerised in most modern editions as "cream-faced loon". A panicked Servant enters, bringing Macbeth news of English forces advancing on Dunsinane. Macbeth immediately scoffs at his fearful appearance, calling him (in an echo of many anti-feminist expressions encountered in this distinctly androcentric play) "quim-faced".
Enter a SERVANT:
MACBETH: The devil damn thee black, thou quim-faced loon!
Where got'st thou that goose look?
(Macbeth, Act V Scene 3)
