While the origin of
this idiomatic phrase is
unknown, the first record-
ed use appears in 1860,
in Britain, according to
Merriam-Webster’s. An
nerd
1897 novel by the imperi-
alist British writer Rudyard
Kipling acknowledges the
nautical version of the
term, as does the 1937 film
adaptation of the novel
produced by Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer.
The phrase has been em-
braced by fishing communi-
ties and canneries through-
out the English-speaking
world, from Ugashik,
Alaska, to Astoria, Oregon,
to Gloucester, Massachu-
setts. The term now lives on
mostly through the idiom of
Scouts Canada (the northern
version of The Boy Scouts
of America, though unas-
sociated) as a phrase for
a snack, and according to
Oxford’s Dictionary of New
Slang was first noted as
such in 1970.
“‘No reg’lar meals fer
no one then. ’Mug-up when
ye’re hungry, an’ sleep
when ye can’t keep awake.
Good job you wasn’t picked
up a month later than you
was, or we’d never ha’ had
you dressed in shape fer the
Old Virgin.’”
—Rudyard Kipling, Cap-
tains Courageous, Macmil-
lan & Co.,1897
“Chilly? It’s a former
cold storage, for crying out
loud. Enjoy a coffee break,
mug up, at Coffee Girl
overlooking the water….”
