There are two popular theories as to where the word derived from. The first is that it was perhaps derived from “drunk” spelled backwards. A somewhat more popular theory suggests that it came from a modification of “nut”, which meant “stupid or crazy person” and was common in the 1940s, directly before this term showed up.
The word ended up becoming fairly popular in the 1960s and by the 1970s was hugely popularized by the TV show Happy Days, where it was used frequently.
What is the word ?
