THE ORIGIN OF "FUDGE."
Expression Now Onraon Is Not Easy
to THice.
Where did that very common word
"fudge" come from, and what does it
really mean? The antiquarian of the
Boston Journal sajj^p t**-e
first appear-
ance of the word 2teature is the
description of the cell of Lady Blarney
and Miss Carolina Wilhelmina Amelia
Skeggs on the Vicar of Wakefield's
household: "But previously I should
have mentioned the very impolite be
havior of Mr. Burchell, who, during
this discourse, sat with his face turned
to the fire, and at the conclusion of
every sentence would cry out 'Fudge!'
an expression which displeased us a^l,
and in some measure damped the ris
ing spirit of the conversation." Does
the word come from the provincial
French "fuche" or the Low German
'futsch"? Or shall we trace It to the
story of 1700 quoted by the elder
D'Israeli: "There was, sir, ia our
times, one Captain Fudge, who always
brought home his owners a good cargo
of lies, so much that now aboard the
ship the sailors, when they bar a
ereat lie told, cry out, 'You fudge It!'"
