英语词汇hush puppy的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

hush puppy. These cakes of deep-fried cornmeal batter, very popular in the South, have been traced back only to the time of World War I; at least the name isn’t recorded before then. The most common explanation for the odd name is that hunters tossed bits of the cakes to their dogs, telling them to “hush, puppy.” A perhaps more authentic version notes that the cakes were first made in Florida, where people often fried fish outdoors in large pans, attracting dogs who would whine and bark. To quiet the dogs, the cook would fry up some cornmeal cakes and throw them to the dogs, shouting, “Hush, puppies!” Hush puppies for soft shoes or slippers seem to have been so named by the first company to manufacture them, in the 1960s.
