英语词汇mulligan的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

mulligan. When you’re allowed to take a mulligan in golf—a free shot not counted against the score after your first one goes bad—you may not be emulating some duffer of days gone by. Mulligan probably comes from the brand name of a once- popular sauce that was standard in barrooms. This potent sea- soning of water and hot pepper seeds was sometimes mixed with beer, and jokers swore that it ate out your liver, stomach, and finally your heart—just what happens when you accept too many mulligans on the golf course. On the other hand, there are those who say that mulligan derives from the name of Ca- nadian David Mulligan, who in the late 1920s was allowed an extra shot by his friends in appreciation for driving his friends over rough roads every week for their foursome at the St. Lam- bert Country Club near Montreal.
