History of Little Bunny Foo Foo

[edit]

As documented in this article:

  • Word "Goon" first attested 1921, first popularized 1933, according to OED.
  • Someone on the Internet claims to have heard it in the 1950s (most commenters in the thread claim to have first heard in in the 60s).
  • Attested in Runaway Ralph by Beverly Clearey (1970) and an article in The New Yorker (also 1970).
