To: balderdash@bbc.co.uk, wordhunt@bbc.co.uk Subject: Hoodie Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2007 22:32:51 +0100 After talking to a school friend, they remembered a reference to "hoodie" as a person in the "MT Mag" (the Mount Temple school magazine) from 1991. I've scanned the item and put it here: http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~dwmalone/hoodie.jpg It's a cartoon showing a sterotypical "hoodie" and a typical "rocker". According to: http://www.oed.com/bbcwordhunt/list.html#hoodie you have a reference to "hoodie" for the clothing from 1990, you only seem to have one from 1994 for "hoodie" the person, so this could be quite an improvement.
