maffickv.

Brit.

/ˈmafɪk/, U.S.

/ˈmæfɪk/

Origin: Formed within English, by back-formation. Etymon: proper name Mafeking.

Etymology: Back-formation < the place name Mafeking (see below), treated humorously as a present participle.The word and its derivatives were common chiefly in the years immediately following the events of May 1900, but were considered purely journalistic at that time: N.E.D. (1904) notes s.v. ‘The words appear to be confined to journalistic use; but we have a large number of examples from newspapers of all shades of political opinion’.

intransitive. To celebrate uproariously, rejoice extravagantly, esp. on an occasion of national celebration (originally the relief of the British garrison besieged in Mafeking (now Mafikeng), South Africa, in May 1900). In later use usually with pejorative connotations.
