Etymology of TUBTHUMPINGS

The word "tubthumping" is derived from the term "tub-thumper". The exact origins are not entirely clear, but it is believed to have emerged in British English in the early 19th century.

The term "tub-thumper" originally referred to a person who thumped or struck a tub or drum as part of a demonstration or political gathering. It was commonly associated with radical or populist speakers who passionately advocated for their cause. The drumming or thumping on a tub was used to grab attention and create a sense of fervor.

Over time, "tub-thumper" evolved into a more general term for any speaker or orator who passionately promotes a cause, often with little regard for subtlety or nuance. "Tubthumping" is the gerund form of the verb "tubthump", which means to speak or argue fervently for a cause.
