dudeism 的詞源

dudeism(n.)

1883年,“被稱爲花花公子的階級的服裝、舉止和社交特點”[世紀詞典],源自於 dude + -ism

The dude possesses in his outward appearance and bearing all the attributes of a gentleman, excepting, perhaps, that of manliness. His dress is unostentatious in its perfection, its only loud notes being a pair of white gaiters, which are believed to be going out already in obedience to the unwritten code of dudeism. Why the dude feels any interest in life is not clear—he does not look as if he enjoyed it. There is a certain introspective earnestness in his bearing that reminds one of the theological student, and perhaps the prevailing high collar strengthens the resemblance. [Phrenological Journal, July 1883]
花花公子在外表和舉止上擁有紳士的所有特質,除了男子氣概。他的着裝完美而不張揚,唯一的亮點是一雙白色的綁腿,據信已經在遵循花花公子主義的無書規定下退出了歷史舞臺。爲什麼花花公子會對生活產生任何興趣並不清楚——他看起來並不像享受生活。他的舉止有一種內省的認真態度,讓人想起神學生,也許是因爲高領子的流行加強了這種相似之處。[頭相學雜誌,1883年7月]

1883年,「挑剔的人」,紐約市俚語,起源不明;最近的研究表明,它是Yankee Doodle的縮寫,基於該歌曲對「花俏、過於挑剔男性」的概念(比較macaroni)。1883年的流行詞,最初用於指「美學」狂熱的信奉者,後來應用於城市花花公子,尤其是東部人員在西部度假時(如dude ranch「收費招待客人和遊客的牧場」,1921年證實)。「該詞沒有前身記錄,可能僅僅是流行俚語的自發產物之一」[世紀詞典]。

Now, "tenderfoot" is not to be construed as the Western equivalent of that much evolved and more abused specimen of mankind, familiarly styled "dude." For even the Montana cowboy recognizes the latter. Not that he has ever seen the true prototype of a class that was erstwhile so numerous among us. But he is convinced that a person caught in the act of wearing a white linen collar, and who looks as though he might have recently shaved or washed his face, must be a dude, true and proper. ["Random Notes and Observations of a Trip through the Great Northwest," The Medical Record, Oct. 20, 1883]
現在,「tenderfoot」不應被解釋為西部對於那種已經演變並被濫用的人類標本的等價詞,通俗地稱為「dude」。因為即使是蒙大拿州的牛仔也能識別後者。並不是說他曾經見過那類曾經在我們中間如此眾多的人的真正原型。但他相信,一個被發現穿著白色亞麻襯衫領子的人,看起來像是最近剃過鬍子或洗過臉的人,一定是真正的dude。[「隨筆與觀察:穿越大西北的旅行」,《醫療紀錄》,1883年10月20日]

對任何男性的應用記錄於1966年,美國,最初在非裔美國人口音中。

DUDE: This does not mean "tenderfoot," as it once did. It now is used to refer positively to somebody. "Charlie's a nice dude." Occasionally it's used as a neutral noun, so you can call someone a "strange dude." [Mike Jahn, "Are You Hip?" Louisville, Ky. Courier-Journal, July 11, 1971]
DUDE:這不再意味著「tenderfoot」,如以前那樣。現在用來正面指代某人。「查理是一個好dude。」偶爾用作中性名詞,所以你可以稱某人為「奇怪的dude。」[邁克·詹,《你時髦嗎?》,肯塔基州路易維爾《信使-日報》,1971年7月11日]

這個詞綴用於構成名詞,表示一種實踐、體系、教義等,源自法語 -isme 或直接源自拉丁語 -isma-ismus(意大利語、西班牙語 -ismo,荷蘭語、德語 -ismus 也有此詞綴),源自希臘語 -ismos,名詞後綴,表示一件事情的實踐或教學,源自以 -izein 結尾的動詞詞幹,這個動詞詞綴表示與其相連的名詞或形容詞的行爲。有關使用的區別,請參見 -ity。相關的希臘語後綴 -isma(t)- 影響了一些形式。
