Did You Know?

Pungle is from the Spanish word póngale, meaning “put it down,” which itself is from the verb poner, meaning “to put” or “to place,” and, more specifically, “to wager” or “to bet.” The earliest uses of pungle are from the mid-1800s and are in reference to anteing up in games of chance. It did not take long for the word to be used in other contexts. We find it, for example, in Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) when Huck’s father says: “I’ll make [Judge Thatcher] pungle, too, or I’ll know the reason why.” Nowadays, pungle is mainly used in the western part of the United States.

词源词根演化：poner (“to put” or “to place”)—> póngale (Spanish “put it down”) —> pungle

pungle来自于西班牙语póngale（意思是“放下”），这个西班牙单词有来自于动词poner，意思是“放”，“搁”，或者更准确的说是“押注”或“打赌”。pungle最早期的用法是在1800年代中期，用于表示“赌博游戏中下赌注的行为”。随后不久，这个词就开始用于其它的场合中了。例如，我们在马克吐温的小说《Adventures of Huckleberry Finn》(1884年)可以看到 Huck的父亲说：“我也会让[Thatcher法官]付钱，否则我会去了解原因。” 在现代，pungle主要用在美国西部地区。

注：wager：打赌，押注；bet：打赌；ante：下赌注（ante-表示“前”，下赌注需要在游戏开始前）

Examples

从下面这两个例子中可以看出，pungle既可以单独使用，又可以在后面跟着payment。

“In December 1849, Coffin formed Coffin & Co. and contracted with a New York builder for a … side-wheel steamer to ply the waters between Portland and San Francisco. When he and his partners failed to pungle up the final payment, however, the vessel was sold.”
— John Terry, The Sunday Oregonian (Portland, Oregon), 19 Aug. 2007
