为什么他们叫这个怪名字？－人物绰号详解 - 越狱贴吧 - 影评、乐评、碟评、书评、社...

1. Haywire： Charles “Haywire”Patoshik
adjective. 1. crazy, mad. 2. To go haywire = to go nuts.
eg. That guy‘s been to the war and gone haywire.
tags: crazy mad nuts looney insane
片中的疯子。绰号本身就是疯子的意思。
Hay的意思是“干草”，wire的意思是“铁丝网”，haywire的意思也就是“捆绑干草的铁丝”。农民一般都是用一根细的铁丝把乾草一捆捆地捆起来。但是，haywire不知道什么时候就会忽然崩开或弹起来，不能很稳定系统的工作。也象一个人神经失控一样。铁丝这种四处乱弹乱跳的现象就形成了美国人常用的一个俗语，也就是：to go haywire，意思是“临时的、效率低的，出毛病”或者“ 陷于混乱、兴奋得发狂、精神失常”。所以haywire的意思就扩展成可以形容任何公司和经营是“组织混乱的”和“不能正常工作的”。后来它也可以用来形容人，意思是“疯狂的”。
2. C-Note ： Benjamin “C-Note” Franklin
"C" signifying the quantity of 100 in roman numerals, "note" signifying federal reserve note, thus "cnote" signifies 100 dollars.
eg. Got change for a cnote?
指百元大钞。C-Note擅长交易，其演员也在访谈中说，是因为他不管给别人买再小的东西，也要收100元，所以叫C－Note。而且，$100美元上印有Benjamin Franklin的头像，和片中人物同名。Benjamin Franklin是18世纪美国著名的科学家和政治家，参与起草《独立宣言》。
3. Tweener : David “Tweener”Apolskis
A young White man confused about his culture and ressembles a Black man. He is in between.. he is a Tweener.
eg. Yo Tweener, that hoe is a quebecunt fo sho!
Tweener好多意思，任何in between的东西都可以叫tweener。指他在支持白人和黑人之间徘徊. 具体参看T-BAG摸他膝盖那一集,这个名字似乎是T-BAG给的"a regular tweener"
4. Linc "the sink" ： Lincon Burrows :
Lincoln is known to be a tough, hard fighter among the cons at Fox River. Usually, when someone comes at you, they give you "everything but the kitchen sink". Lincoln, or ‘Linc‘, gives off more of an effort than that and is referred to as the "sink". Hence, "Linc(k) the Sink".
在ep1里，讲到：在FOX RIVER的那些犯人里边，LINC属于是比较能打的壮汉。一般来说，当别人来打你的时候，你会把什么东西都拿来打他（everything but the kitchen sink是老美的SLANG），可LINC不一样，他会把这个东西也拿去砸人，加上他的名字LINC和SINK就一个音不一样，所以大家就那么叫他了。

Everything but the kitchen sink英文的解释
Everything but the kitchen sink is what you brought with you when you included almost everything you could think to bring. Example: "Wow, your suitcase is huge. What do you have in there? Everything but the kitchen sink?"
When we we are deciding what to bring with us, we try to take everything possible. But some things, like the kitchen sink, are just not convenient. Example: "Every time we go camping my wife packs everything but the kitchen sink."
Everything but the kitchen sink means that you included almost everything you could think to include. Example: "My dad‘s new luxury car is great. It has everything but the kitchen sink."
Everything but the kitchen sink的字面意思是除了厨房水池什么都有，实际意思是你能想到的东西都包括了，lincoln绰号是sink，就是说他连你想不到的都包括了，感觉上就是他是everything，或者说他无敌的意思。
5. Cherry:     Seth " Cherry" Hoffner
Something looks pretty and fresh. slang term for a woman‘s hymen.
是上吊自杀的那个小男孩儿。本指樱桃，是他长得俊美，年纪嫩。Like a virgin.
6. T-Bag: Theodore"T-Bag" Bagwell
When a girl is lying on her back and blowing you, you grab your cock and lift it out of the way and dip your nuts in and out of her mouth like you dipping a tea bag ..
这个绰号给他还是有XXX味道的。
Rob K. 在G4的访问中说，他在拍PB以前也不是特别了解，芝加哥人才都知道T－Bag是什么意思。 他说PB的编剧很聪明，给他起Bagwell这样的姓，就很顺理成章缩写成T－Bag，就可以自然而然这样叫他，而不让观众觉得“太过分了”。
7. Maytag: Jason "Maytag" Buchanan
A prison term for a young inmate who performs ***ual favors for a dominate top in exchange for protection.
eg. I gotta get me a new Maytag...‘cause my boy just got sprung.
T-bag 在前几集的“女朋友”和室友。此绰号正是这个意思。
海尔曾经要收购的美国家用电器生产厂商也叫Maytag。估计本指“服务的女人”的意思，在监狱里被引申啦。
