英语词汇donnybrook的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

donnybrook. Too much flowing usquebaugh and too many flailing shillelaghs made the Donnybrook Fair a dangerous place to visit in old Ireland. The two-week-long fair, held in Au- gust every year since King John licensed it in 1204, was the scene of so many wild free-for-alls that the town’s name became a synonym for any knock-’em-down-drag-’em-out brawl in- volving a group of people. By 1885 things had gotten so bad that they were too much for even those legendary Irishmen who love a good fight and the fair was finally closed. Donny- brook is now a relatively peaceful suburb about a mile and a half from Dublin.
