Quote:Calling Shenanigans came from South Park the episode with the running of the cows. The word shenanigan meaning a deceitful trick first appeared around 1855.So SLASH has been moonlighting as Ikea eh?
My research has come across this as for the actual origin of Shenanigans "The Spanish chanada (a short form of charranada `trick, deceit') is a likely origin. William and Mary Morris (see the bibliography) note that shenanigans could comes from Irish sionnachuighim `I play the fox.' But both the sources mention German dialectic schinageln `to work at hard labor' as a possible origin for shenanigans. Apparently, the implication is `using trickery to avoid hard labor.'"
