词源	thump v. 1530s, "to strike hard," probably imitative of the sound made by hitting with a heavy object (compare East Frisian dump "a knock," Swedish dialectal dumpa "to make a noise"). Related: Thumped; thumping. thump n. 1550s, "dull, heavy sound," from thump (v.). As "a hard blow" from 1620s. Entries linking to thump thumping adj. "exceptionally large," colloquial, 1570s, present-participle adjective from thump (v.). bethump v. "to beat soundly," 1590s, from be- + thump. Related: Bethumped; bethumping. callithumpian adj. "pertaining to a noisy concert or serenade," also the name of the concert itself, 1836, U.S. colloquial, probably a fanciful construction (perhaps based on the calli- "beauty" words (see Callisto) + thump). But Wright's "English Dialect Dictionary" (1900) reports Gallithumpians as a Dorset and Devon word from 1790s for a society of radical social reformers, and also in reference to "noisy disturbers of elections and meetings" (1770s). The U.S. reference is most commonly "a band of discordant instruments" or a crowd banging on tin pots and pans, blowing horns, etc., especially on New Year's or to "serenade" a newlywed couple to show disapproval of one or the other or the match. updated on January 29, 2014
