英语词汇pig latin的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

pig latin; hog latin; dog latin. Ixnay (“nix”), amscray (“scram”), and several other slang words come to us directly from pig Latin. First known as dog Latin, the little language commonly used by schoolchildren can be traced back to at least mid-18th-century England, when there was a dog Greek as well as a dog Latin. The dog in the term means the same as it does in doggerel, something bad, spurious, bastard, mongrel. Dog Latin probably came to be called pig Latin and hog Latin because its sound resembles the grunting of hogs. The lopped language was at first a combination of Latin and English. Today it is basically formed by taking the first letter of a word, putting it as the rear of the word and adding to it an ay. For example, “you can talk pig Latin” is “Ouyay ankay alktay igpay Atinlay.” One of the most interesting pig Latin words is ofay, a derogatory term among blacks for a white person, which is said to be pig Latin for the word foe.
