英语词汇boondocks的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

boondocks. Bundok is the word for “mountain” in Tagalog, the Indonesian language of the Philippines. But during the U.S. occupation there, American soldiers extended its meaning to include any rough back country with wild terrain difficult for troops to penetrate, corrupting the word to boondocks in the process. After World War II, Marines brought boondocks home with them and it became the name for difficult terrain on the fringes of training camps, where recruits were often taken on long bivouacs. These remote areas naturally suggested the “sticks,” rural areas where there is similarly little to do but work and be bored, and boondocks began to be applied to them as well. The word is most frequently heard in the expression out in the boondocks, way out in the sticks.
