     Hooligans or hoolies are in it for the pure lust of violence and defence of turf and not really politics, although the subculture tends towards a right wing syndrome of working-class machismo and hostility to foreigners and to the better-off, better-dressed, and better-educated. Hoolies also tend towards public inebriation and, sometimes agitated by a small minority screaming 'Sieg Heil' and 'Germany for the Germans', have engaged in massed rampages through towns, attacking shops, police, and whatever target seemed convenient.

語源 2

A variant of hooley; the further etymology of sense 1 (“noisy celebration or party”) is unknown. Sense 2 (“strong wind”) is possibly from one of the following:

• borrowed from Orkney Scots hool(an) (“strong wind”) + English -ie (diminutive suffix). Hoolan is derived from Norn (unattested), from Old Norse ýlun (“howling, wailing”), from ýla (“to howl”) (ultimately onomatopoeic) + -un (suffix forming nouns).
• from sense 1.
