俚语 who's on first?
释义

Who's on first?

Just about the greatest comedy routine ever, by comedians Abbot and Costello, with Abott telling Costello the names of the players.

In this context, the first baseman is named "Who"; thus, the utterance "Who's on first" is ambiguous between the question ("which person is the first baseman?") and the answer ("Who is the name of the first baseman.").
"Costello: Whats the guy's name on first base?
Abott:What is the guy's name on second base
Costello: Im not asking you Who's on second!
Abott: Who's on first!
Costello: I dont know!
Abott: He's on third, we are not talking about him."

"That Who's on first? Routine always makes me lol"

Who shot first?

Han Solo shot first.

Who shot first?" is a phrase used by Star Wars fans to refer to a controversial change made to a scene in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. In the original theatrical version of the film, Solo shoots Greedo under the table and Greedo dies without firing a shot. The scene was modified for the 1997 re-release to feature Han using his weapon in retaliation after Greedo fires at him; the latter rather implausibly missing Han at point-blank range (<2 meters away). Thus, the phrase "Who shot first?" is a retort to director George Lucas' explicit cinematographic assertion that "Greedo shot first.
Peter: I saw episode IV the other day, and I swear Greedo didn't shoot first in the original. Who shot first?

James (fanboy): Han Solo shot first.
