doodle (v.)

"胡乱涂鸦"，1935年，可能来自方言 doodle, dudle "浪费时间，闲逛"，或与 dawdle 相关（这可能是方言词的来源）。它也是一个名词，意思是“简单的家伙”，始于1620年代。

LONGFELLOW: That's a name we made up back home for people who make foolish designs on paper when they're thinking. It's called doodling. Almost everybody's a doodler. Did you ever see a scratch pad in a telephone booth? People draw the most idiotic pictures when they're thinking. Dr. Von Holler, here, could probably think up a long name for it, because he doodles all the time. ["Mr. Deeds Goes to Town," screenplay by Robert Riskin, 1936; based on "Opera Hat," serialized in American Magazine beginning May 1935, by Clarence Aldington Kelland]

朗费罗：那是我们在家里为那些在思考时在纸上制作愚蠢设计的人所创造的名字。它叫做涂鸦。几乎每个人都是涂鸦者。你曾经在电话亭里看到过便笺吗？人们在思考时画出最愚蠢的图片。这里的冯·霍勒博士可能会想出一个长名字，因为他一直在涂鸦。["迪德先生去城里"，罗伯特·里斯金（Robert Riskin）编剧，1936年； 基于克拉伦斯·奥尔丁顿·凯兰德（Clarence Aldington Kelland）于1935年5月开始在《美国杂志》上连载的“歌剧帽”]
