The preferred theory is that a street gang in Islington (1890 - 1900) was led by a man called "Hooley", and the police referred to its members as "Hooligans".
Another theory dating to the same period is that it comes from a Patrick Hooligan who worked as a "bouncer" at various pubs and inns in London, most notably the Irish Court and the Lamb and Flag.
Even earlier, a play "More Blunders than One", first produced in 1824, featured an often-drunk valet called Larry Hooligan. One theory goes that this character lent his name to similar character types and the word "Hooligan" entered common usage as a theatrical stereotype.
There is also an Irish word, "hooley" which means a wild, spirited party.

It means it's blowing a gale. Storm. wind or rain. I don't know where it comes from. Cornish people have all sorts of "cool" words. I was born there, but couldn't tell you where it came from.The web site below might help. Good luck.

Smexy was actually originally a typo. Some kids were in user chat room called "Skate Chat" on yahoo back in 2005 when one went to compliment another and accidently put the letter m after s in sexy. everyone laughed about it, but the week after everyone was using it.
