Word history: Perhaps one would not immediately associate the word 'high muckamuck' with Chinook.Jargon, but it seems that English has borrowed the term. This pidgin language, which combines words from English, French, Nootka, Chinook and the Salishan languages, was formerly used by Native Americans and fur traders in the Pacific Northwest. In this language 'hayo makamak' meant 'plenty to eat' and is recorded in that sense in English contexts, the first one dated 1853, in which the phrase is spelled 'Hiou Muckamuck'. In 1856 we find the first recorded instance of the word meaning 'pompous person', 'person of importance, in the Democratic State Journal published in Sacramento ("The professors, the high 'Muck-a-Mucks', tried fusion and produced confusion.") In this passage the Chinook Jargon term 'high muck-a-mucks' has been anglicized in accord with its newer meaning 'high muckamuck'. Yep! Controllers just have to tinker with all they can. The evil ones love any confusion they can cause for others. They can't leave well-enough alone.
