Noun:

Verb:
trick or deceive这个有趣的单词始见于18世纪50年代，原来只是个较为流行的俚语，很有可能源于底层社会的行话。有人认为humbug系由hum欺骗和bug虚惊二词复合而成。Orrery伯爵首次将它收录时，称它是“一个听起来别扭可笑而又毫无意义的新造词语”。
humbug一词在19世纪十分流行，这可能要归功于美国游艺节目演出经理人巴纳姆P．T．Barnum，1810—1891。他用过一个短语the Prince of Humbug诈骗专家，并说过一句这样的话：“the American people like to be humbuggcd.”美国人爱受人骗。他在英国还以‘The Science of Money Making and the Philosophy of‘Humbug’生财之道与诈骗哲学为题作了讲演。狄更斯在其著名小说《圣诞颂歌》A Christmas Carol中也用过humbug 一词，吝啬老头Ebenezer Scrooge在反驳圣诞幽灵时说了一句“Bah，humbug．”呸，胡扯。经狄更斯这一用humbug身价倍增，并得以流行全球。今天，humbug巳经完全从俚语升级为标准语，表示“骗子”“花招”“骗人的鬼话”等义。
