larrikinn.

Brit.

/ˈlarᵻk(ᵻ)n/, U.S.

/ˈlɛrək(ə)n/, Australian English /ˈlærək(ə)n/

Forms: Also larikin.

Etymology: Of uncertain origin; possibly < Larry (a nickname for Lawrence, common in Ireland) + -kin suffix. The word seems to have originated in Melbourne not long before 1870; but the story that it was evolved by a reporter from an Irish policeman's pronunciation of larking , heard in a Melbourne police-court in 1869, appears to be a figment, no trace of the incident being found in the local papers of the time. (See Morris, Austral Eng., s.v.) A guess that has been proposed is that it is short for English slang leary kinchen . Wright, Suppl. to Eng. Dial. Dict., cites larrikin ‘a mischievous or frolicsome youth’ from informants in Warwickshire and Worcestershire; see also quot. 1882 at sense a. Compare Eng. Dial. Dict., Larack (larack about, to ‘lark’ about), cited from C. C. Robinson's Dial. Leeds & Neighbourhood (1861).

Chiefly Australian.

a. A (usually juvenile) street rowdy; the Australian equivalent of the ‘hoodlum’ or ‘hooligan’. Also transferred and attributive.
