释义

Scooby Snackn.

Brit. /ˈskuːbɪ ˌsnak/, U.S. /ˈskubi ˌsnæk/
Inflections: Plural Scooby Snacks, Scooby Snax.
Forms: see scooby n. and snack n.2 Also with lower-case initials.
Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Scooby , snack n.2
Etymology: < Scooby (in the name Scooby Doo : see scooby n.) + snack n.2In the television series, films, etc., featuring Scooby Doo, Scooby Snacks are a type of dog treat which he finds so irresistible that they are used to induce him to confront dangerous or frightening situations. See, for example:1972 Washington Post 16 July k5/3 He's a dog who is always going into houses with adventures in 'em, and they have to give him a Scooby snack in case he's afraid to trap the monster which turns out to be a villain.The sense ‘a very large snack’ (see sense 1) is in allusion to Scooby Doo's insatiable appetite, which he attempts to satisfy by eating sandwiches consisting of many layers and fillings. With sense 2 compare the following earlier use humorously suggesting that the Scooby Snacks in the cartoon are really illegal drugs: 1988 Galveston (Texas) Daily News 6 Aug. 1/4 You cartoon types are through corrupting this nation's youth. We're cracking down. We've got Scooby-Doo downtown right now, and those so-called ‘Scooby Snacks’ of his in our crime lab.
Originally and chiefly U.S.
1. colloquial. A snack, esp. given as a reward or inducement; spec. a bite-sized treat or a large multilayered sandwich (likened to those eaten by the cartoon character Scooby Doo: see etymology and scooby n.). Also: food eaten to satisfy a hunger induced by drinking, smoking, or drug use.
