每日一词学英语(115): hols

在报纸上看到一个标题：Do thin people have better hols? 什么是“hols”？点击进入正文就明白了。(From The Times, August 22, 2009: Do 'skinnies' have better holidays?)

Hols: (noun) [pl.] (old-fashioned, BrE, informal) holidays
*the school / summer hols
*He's away on his hols at the moment.

报纸标题用这个词大概是为了节省空间吧？发手机短信、网上聊天可以好好用用了。
