- 1（澳／紐口語）讚、漂亮、好貨；不是 beauty 的拼錯
Beaut is a short, informal word from beauty. You use it when something is very good, attractive, or impressive — a car, a goal, a view, even a black eye, depending on the joke. As a noun, a beaut is a beauty: a , or a fine example of its kind. As a reaction, especially in Australian and New Zealand English, You beaut! means “That’s great!” It can be warm, or a bit ; it can even be sarcastic (“a beaut of a mess”). It is spoken English, not essay English. In American English you may still hear a beaut in older or colourful talk, but it is much more at home in Australia. It is not a of beauty; it is a , casual piece of the same word.
組成Either a back-formation from beauty, or a clipping of beauty.
