Smite hip and thigh 连腿带屁股地痛打;比喻彻底压倒对方,打败敌人。
出自《旧约·士师记》15章(Judges 15:8)。〔原文〕And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease. And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam. 参孙对非利士人说:“你们既然这样行,我必向你们报仇才肯罢休。” 参孙就大大地击杀他们,连腿带腰都砍断了。
这句话的原意是练腿带屁股地痛打,看到这个我直接联想到的就是痛打落水狗,不过,这是更戏谑的说法,意思也不尽相同。
