词组 hoodlum
释义 hoodlum
noun
a ruffian, a gangster, especially if dangerous US, 1871
Probably from a printing error on a reversal of Muldoon (a known gangster’s name), thus “noodlum”, hence “hoodlum”; of other folk-etymologies only a gang-cry of “huddle ’em!” is moderately convincing.
  • The hoodlum Frankie defaulted on his bail, slipped out of the country with his wife and family and fled to Italy. — Harry J. Anslinger, The Murderers, p. 239, 1961
