英语词汇boloney的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

boloney. Al Smith, governor of New York and unsuccessful presidential candidate in 1928, helped popularize this expres- sion with his remark “No matter how you slice it, it’s still balo- ney.” But boloney for “bunk” dates back to at least the early 20th century, bologna sausage having been pronounced boloney as early as the 1870s, when there was a popular song “I Ate the Boloney.” There are those who say that boloney for “bunk” has nothing to do with bologna sausage, however, tracing it to a corruption of the Spanish pelone, “testicles,” and claiming that this meant “nonsense” or “bunk” just as “balls,” “all balls,” and “nerts” did. The word is also spelled baloney.
