zombie. Zombie was originally the snake god worshipped in West Indian voodoo ceremonies based upon the worship of the python god in West Africa. Since dead people were said to be brought to life in these ceremonies, such imagined corpses shuffling along half dead and half alive were called zombies. By the 1920s this word naturally became applied to any oafish “dummy” without much intelligence or spirit. It is also the name of a cocktail that makes one feel like a zombie. |
