单词 juggins
释义

jugginsn.

Brit. /ˈdʒʌɡɪnz/, U.S. /ˈdʒəɡənz/
Etymology: Origin uncertain. As a surname of plebeian origin (apparently < Jug; compare Jenkins, Tomkins, Dickens, etc.), Juggins is known in 1604 (Worcestershire); it is given to a Lancashire collier in Disraeli's Sybil. But it does not appear whether or how far this is the source of the slang term; some take the latter as a fantastically perverted derivative of mug ‘greenhorn’, found 1861 in Mayhew London Lab. III. 203, and having also a derivative muggins (but this not certainly earlier than juggins).
slang.
A simpleton, one easily ‘taken in’ or imposed upon.
