hooligan(n.)
1890年代,来源不明,据 OED 称,首次出现在1898年夏季的英国报纸警察法庭报道中,几乎肯定来自爱尔兰姓氏 Houlihan 的变体形式,该姓氏在1880年代和90年代的音乐厅歌曲和报纸中作为典型的滑稽爱尔兰名字。
As an "inventor" and adapter to general purposes of the tools used by navvies and hodmen, "Hooligan" is an Irish character who occupies week by week the front of a comic literary journal called Nuggets, one of the series of papers published by Mr. James Henderson at Red Lion House. Previous to publication in London, "Hooligan" appears, I believe, in New York in a comic weekly, and in London he is set off against "Schneider," a German, whose contrainventions and adaptations appear in the Garland (a very similar paper to Nuggets), which also comes from Mr. Henderson's office. "Hooligan" and "Schneider" have been running, I should think, for four or five years. [Notes and Queries, Oct. 15, 1898]
作为挖掘工和搬运工使用的工具的“发明家”和适应者,“Hooligan”是一个爱尔兰人物,他每周都会出现在一本名为 Nuggets 的滑稽文学杂志的封面上,这是詹姆斯·亨德森先生在 Red Lion House 出版的一系列报纸之一。在伦敦出版之前,“Hooligan”在纽约的一份滑稽周报上出现,而在伦敦,他与“Schneider”对比,后者是一个德国人,他的发明和适应出现在 Garland(一份与 Nuggets 非常相似的报纸)中,这也来自亨德森先生的办公室。“Hooligan”和“Schneider”应该已经连载了四五年了。[Notes and Queries,1898年10月15日]
