八婆




八婆來源不明，意思泛指用來形容好管閒事女子，八婆是一個帶有高度貶義的詞語，甚至可視為粗口的一種。多數華人社會中，這種人一般被稱作「長舌婦」。



定義


「八婆」的來源不確定，有多種不同的講法，而且這些講法都難以追查來源。最簡單的解釋，就是指「八婆」其實就是「愛諸事八卦的女人」的簡稱。另一個說法，則牽引到日常用語「三姑六婆」，指是「三姑六婆」裡的六婆再加上另外兩個「婆」，又或是「三姑」加上「六婆」，但因為中間有一個相同，所以合稱為「八婆」。但總的來說，都是一些愛說是非的女性。亦有一種說法，指「八婆」這詞源於開埠初期一個名叫朱燕的女人。這個朱燕在家中排行第八，人稱「八婆」，是富商何東家族的一名傭工，後被發現將何東家族的秘密售予英國商人，被當時華人所指責，於是泛稱好管閒事的女子為「八婆」。


亦有指，八婆一詞是源於每年三月八日的婦女節；因為婦女節在三月第八天，故有此稱。


「八婆」與台灣人一般所稱呼的「三八」並不相同，因為「三八」指的其實是那些惺惺作態的女性。

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix".
