Could you please tell me something about the word<br>
'Bagaluut' [meaning, origin], so I know which word I'm<br>
using when I'm crossing the border and start calling<br>
names when I meet this Journalist? Please?<br>

</blockquote><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
There's an article on German Wikipedia on the word: <</span><a style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagalut" target="_blank">http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagalut</a><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">>.
I think the definition is good and about the origin they say the same,
what I know about it: "Nothing is known exactly but the origin could be
English 'bag o'loot'".</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" color="#888888">

Subject: Etymology<br><br>Thanks, Marcus. Nice one, and not implausible, possibly something like "(you/the old) bag o' loot" in pirates' jargon, then spread to general sailors' jargon, which North German seafarers picked up.<br>
<br>Theo, to answer your other question, Low Saxon <i>Bagaluut </i>(!~ <i>Baggalut</i> ~ etc.) means something like "scoundrel" or "rascal".<br><br>Cheerio!<br>Reinhard/Ron</span></font><font style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" color="#888888"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></span><br>
