brass tacks
出典:『Wiktionary』 (2010/08/07 17:31 UTC 版)
語源
Unknown[1] Earliest attestation in 1863 US, specifically Texas.[1] A theory is that it comes from the brass tacks in the counter of a hardware store or draper's shop used to measure cloth in precise units (rather than holding one end to the nose かつ stretching out the arm to approximately one yard).
