Randolph outrage : ウィキペディア英語版 | Randolph outrage
The Randolph outrage is the act of pulling someone else's nose in order to insult him. This was sometimes used as a way to provoke a challenge to a duel. The expression comes from an incident in 1833 when a dismissed lieutenant, Robert Beverly Randolph, tried to pull the nose of US President Andrew Jackson. The incident occurred during the president's visit to Randolph's hometown, Fredericksburg, Virginia.〔Pedersen, S C, "På liv och död", s 198ff, Gyldendal, 2003〕 Jackson had earlier dismissed Randolph from the Navy for being in debt.〔(Legal Affairs )〕 ==References== 〔
