Charles Boycott: The Man Who Became a Verb

quote [ The act of boycotting an organization or a person dates back to centuries, but the word “boycott” itself is relatively new. It entered English usage only in 1880 after a highly publicized campaign to ostracize a certain English land agent gained wide coverage in the British press. His name was Charles Cunningham Boycott. ]

Hey, hey, hey, let freedom ring, Boycott everything
