paugies plural

词源

Shortened form of the Narragansett word mishcùppaûog ("porgies", plural). Another shortening of the same word yields the synonym scup. The full word was borrowed as scuppaug. The singular was borrowed as mishcup.
Possibly reinforced by its similarity to porgy, especially in non-rhotic accents.
