Bah Humbug

When referring to a person, a humbug means a fraud or impostor, implying an element of unjustified publicity and spectacle. In modern usage, the word is most associated with the character Ebenezer Scrooge, created by Charles Dickens in his novella A Christmas Carol. His famous reference to Christmas, “Bah! Humbug!”, declaring Christmas to be a fraud, is commonly used in stage and television versions and also appeared frequently in the original book. The word is also prominently used in L. Frank Baum’s novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, in which the Scarecrow refers to the Wizard as a humbug, and the Wizard agrees. $
