註釋
The origin of ballyhoo has been the subject of much speculation. This spelling has actually graced four different words: ballyhoo, 「sensational advertising」; ballyhoo, a spelling of balao, a kind of fish; ballyhoo, a part of the name ballyhoo bird, about which more later; and ballyhoo, a sailor's epithet for a disliked ship. This last ballyhoo (first recorded in 1836) was thought to be related to, or the same as, the word ballahou, from Spanish balahu, 「a type of schooner common in the Antilles.」 First recorded in 1867, ballahou, besides being a term for a specific kind of ship, was also used contemptuously of inferior ships. But the connection between these sailing terms or the name of the fish and our word ballyhoo, first recorded in 1901, has not been established. There may, however, be a tie between ballyhoo and the creature called a ballyhoo bird. According to a July 1880 article in Harper's, the bird had four wings and two heads and could whistle through one bill while singing through the other. Anyone who has ever hunted a snipe will know what hunting ballyhoo birds was like.
單詞ballyhoo 的來源一直存在種種推測。 這個詞的拼寫實際上包含有四個不同的詞：ballyhoo， 意為「聳人聽聞的廣告」； ballyhoo， 是 balao 的一種拼寫，是一種魚； ballyhoo， 是 ballyhoo bird 的一部分,其出現更晚； 還有一個是ballyhoo， 是水手對不喜歡的船的稱呼。 這最後一個ballyhoo （最早記載於1836年）被認為與 ballahou 有關或相同， 該詞來自西班牙語balahu， 意為「流行於安地列斯群島的一種縱帆船。」 首次記載於1867年，ballahou 一詞除表示一種特殊的船外， 還表示同時代的劣等船。但這些與航海有關的詞或魚類名稱的詞與我們所使用的、首次記載於1901年的一詞ballyhoo 之間尚未建立聯繫。 然而也許ballyhoo 一詞與被稱為 ballyhoo bird 的生物之間有某種聯繫。 根據1880年7月哈帕斯 雜誌中一篇文章的描寫， 這種鳥有四翅雙頭，可以用其中一張嘴吹哨，同時用另一張嘴唱歌。任何曾經獵過鷸鳥的人將會知道捕獵「巴裡呵」鳥是怎樣的一種情景
