stemwinder

Meaning
A rousing political speech that galvanizes people to take action, or an orator who delivers the speech. 激动人心的政治演讲，鼓动群众采取行动；鼓动人心的演讲者

19世纪中叶，stemwinder 这个词是指能上弦的胸表，当时这种上弦的胸表风行一时。到19世纪末, stemwinder 词已经具有了比喻象征一流或卓越的意思。后来它的意思进一步的扩展，表示强大或有说服力的东西，逐步确定今天的激动人心的政治演讲和演讲者的意思。

19世纪下半叶和20世纪初一些作家使用了stemwinder，例如马克·吐温，杰克·伦敦和奥·亨利。stemwinder该词起源的痕迹几乎已从流行文化中消失了，如同上弦的胸表早已从我们日常生活中消失了。

The capacity crowd in the venue of 8,000 seats booed on cue. -- Politico by M. Scott Mahaskey Jul 18, 2019
