    I have read that this term was first coined by The Cramps' lead singer Lux Interior to describe the band's sound in 1977.

    January 29, 2008

  • Toot's Hibbert from Toots and the Maytals claims to have come up with the word.

    "There's a word we used to use in Jamaica called 'streggae'. If a girl is walking and the guys look at her and say 'Man, she's streggae' it means she don't dress well, she look raggedy. The girls would say that about the men too. This one morning me and my two friends were playing and I said, 'OK man, let's do the reggay.' It was just something that came out of my mouth."

    Generally, I think we have to make a distinction between sounds and actual made up words that may have actual meanings.

  • The term "hooligan" has a disputed derivation, but it is generally accepted to have begun to appear in London police reports in 1898 in relation to violent street gangs.

    Writer, Clarence Rook (1862-1915) wrote a book entitled The Hooligan Nights which was about a young criminal’s story told in his own words.

    In this account, Rook wrote: “There was but a few years ago, a man called Patrick Hooligan, who walked to and fro among his fellow men, robbing and occasionally bashing them.�?
