一团东西是一捆或一团东西，就像你在学校的椅子下面看时会发现的一团口香糖。哎呀！

词源：
wad (n.)early 15c., wadde, “small bunch of fibrous, soft material for padding or stuffing,” of uncertain origin, perhaps from Medieval Latin wadda (14c., source also of French ouate, Italian ovate), or Dutch watten (source of German Watte), or Middle English wadmal (c. 1300) “coarse woolen cloth,” which seems to be from Old Norse vaðmal “a woolen fabric of Scandinavia,” probably from vað “cloth” + mal “measure.”
The meaning “something bundled up tightly” (especially paper currency) is from 1778. To shoot (one’s) wad “do all one can do” is recorded by 1860. The immediate source of the expression probably is the sense of “disk of cloth used to hold powder and shot in place in a gun.” Wad in slang sense of “a load of semen” is attested from 1920s, and the expression now often is felt in this sense. As a suffix, -wad in 1980s joined -bag, -ball, -head in combinations meaning “disgusting or unpleasant person.”Related entries & more

wad (n.) 15世纪早期，wadde，“一小束纤维状的软材料，用于填充或填充物”，起源不确定，可能来自中世纪拉丁语 wadda（14世纪，也源自法语 ouate、意大利语 ovate），或荷兰语watten（德语 Watte 的来源），或中古英语 wadmal（约 1300 年）“粗羊毛布”，似乎源自古斯堪的纳维亚语 vaðmal“斯堪的纳维亚的羊毛织物”，可能来自 vað“布”+ mal“尺寸”。 ” “紧紧地捆起来的东西”（尤其是纸币）的意思是从 1778 年开始的。 1860 年记录了“射出（一个人的）一团东西”，“竭尽全力”。这个表达的直接来源可能是“布盘”的意思。用于在枪中容纳火药和射击。” Wad 在俚语中的意思是“一团精液”，从 20 世纪 20 年代就得到证实，现在的表达通常也是这个意思。作为后缀，-wad 在 20 世纪 80 年代加入了 -bag、-ball、-head 的组合，意思是“恶心或不愉快的人”。相关条目及更多
