| 词汇 | goon |
| 词源 | goon. Alice the Goon, a big stupid creature who appeared in E. C. Segar’s comic strip “Popeye, the Thimble Theatre” in the late 1930s, gave her name to both stupid people called goons and the big stupid thugs called goons. Segar (1894–1938) may have fashioned the name from the 1895 slang term goony, for “a simpleton,” but he could also have blended gorilla and baboon or even goof and baboon. |
