내 2센트

대중적인 의견은 아닐지도 몰라요. 적어도 어떤 계층에서는 그렇지 않겠지만, 저는 올해 올림픽이 정말 즐거웠어요! 마라톤은 정말 최고였어요. 코스가 정말 강렬했어요! 언덕도 정말 멋졌어요! 스콧, 그 언덕들은 정말 최고였어요!

    19.32 - Well now you've done it. I need to know the origin of " Great Scott". Who was Scott and what made him great?

      19.34 - According to google:
      The phrase "Great Scott!" is an interjection that expresses surprise, dismay, or amazement. It's thought to have originated in the 1850s as a minced oath, and was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

      19.35 - The phrase is associated with two prominent men named Scott: Scottish author Sir Walter Scott and US general Winfield Scott. Scott commanded an American army in the Mexican War and was the Union general-in-chief at the start of the Civil War. Some evidence suggests that Scott may be the source of the phrase (conceited, much?).

      19.36 - Other theories about the phrase's origin include:
      • It's a corruption of the German greeting "Grüß Gott," which means "good day" 
      • It's a polite way of saying "Great God!" in a curse-like manner, similar to what you might say if you stubbed your toe

      19.37 - The phrase is now considered dated, but it became a catchphrase for the fictional scientist Emmett "Doc" Brown in the Back to the Future franchise.

      19.44 - I'll be honest, I had it pegged as a Capt Jean-Luc Picard phrase. I fact checked myself before I said anything because my memory is truly awful from a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

    Some speculated that it was one of the toughest marathons in the Olympics with all the elevation changes!
