《经济学人》一篇关于城市和乡村老鼠的文章 Country bumpkins and city slickers 也出现了这个表达：
（注：bumpkin:n.乡巴佬；土包子）
这个标题其实很有诙谐感，这篇文章主要讲的是“老鼠”，把老鼠比喻为“乡巴佬”和“市井油子”，可见作者对他们的态度了。
短语历史：
City slicker is an idiomatic expression for someone accustomed to a city or urban lifestyle and unsuited to life in the country. The term was typically used as a term of derision by rural Americans who regarded them with amusement. It may refer to a "fop", or it may be a derogatory term for a person wearing inappropriate city-type business attire, particularly with a brusque or condescending attitude in areas where local residents are offended by an arrogant attitude combined with disdain and lack of respect for rural people and lifestyles. The term can be used to describe people who are perceived as dishonest, arrogant, or simply naive.
