Deep Throat （深喉）
匿名向记者透漏丑闻等内幕消息的告密者，在英语里叫做deep throat, 经常写作Deep Throat。这种说法是怎么来的呢？
Deep Throat 最初被用在一九七二至七四年的水门事件中。《华盛顿邮报》的名记鲍伯・伍德华（Bob Woodward）和他的同事卡尔・伯恩斯坦（Carl Bernstein）根据尼克松政府里的匿名官员提供的秘密情报揭露了水门事件不可告人的黑幕。刚巧一九七二年一部名为Deep Throat（《深喉》）的色情电影在美国红极一时，于是 “Deep Throat” 就成了这匿名信息来源的代号。过去30年来大家纷纷猜测谁是深喉.
深喉这个短语源于色情，这种用法延续至今，但是在用来指匿名告密者时并没有粗俗的含义。
Ex-FBI official Felt is ’Deep Throat’
- Wash Post Tue May 31, 5:32 PM ET, 2005
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former FBI deputy director Mark Felt is "Deep Throat," the legendary source who leaked Watergate scandal secrets to the Washington Post and helped bring down President Richard Nixon, the newspaper said on Tuesday.
Bob Woodward, one of the Washington Post reporters who broke stories on key elements of the Watergate scandal that led to Nixon’s August 1974 resignation, confirmed Felt was the source after a Vanity Fair magazine report said he had admitted his role, the Post said on its Web site.
