Origins

Barry Popik of the American Dialect Society suggests that the word should be traced back to an American folksong called Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines, which was first popular in 1868. One verse in one version goes:

"Oh, that's the curse of the Army."
In sports
The earliest use of the word "jinx" to refer to something other than the bird seems to have been in the context of baseball;

and later referenced in Pitching at a Pinch (1912), Christy Mathewson[3] explained that "a jinx is something which brings bad luck to a ball player." Baseball's most common "jinx" belief is that talking about a pitcher's ongoing no-hitter will cause it to be ended.
Dodgers - Red Sox 1-2,
June 11, 2004, Fenway Park, Boston, Massachusetts
BOSTON (AP) -- David Ortiz lined a game-winning single that no one could catch after teammate Manny Ramirez gave away a lead on a popup he should have caught.
Ortiz's single in the bottom of the ninth inning followed his homer in the seventh, and the Boston Red Sox won 2-1 Friday night in the Los Angeles Dodgers' first game at Fenway Park."Manny's picked us up a lot," Ortiz said. "It's time we picked him up."The Red Sox were one out from victory in the ninth with Alex Cora at first following his single.
But Ramirez let Olmedo Saenz's wind-blown popup to left field drop next to him for a two-base error, allowing Cora to score."I just went hard. I gave it my best and I dropped the ball," Ramirez said, before joking: "There goes my Gold Glove." :laugh2:
Fielding isn't Ramirez's forte, but that didn't make manager Terry Francona feel any better when he saw the ball land."That was about as close to tears as I've been in a long time," he said. "He cares a lot. It wouldn't have surprised me if David Ortiz wouldn't have gotten a hit, Manny would have hit one off the wall or over."

@Irish: Mein Rätsel war wohl zu knifflig.
Ich löse es mal auf: rechts der "Darkman" = Peyton Westlake = "West Lake" = LA
links: Das "jinxen" mit den 19-0 Champion-Shirts, "Jinx" aus Wikipedia
Army = Du
Du + Baseball = Boston Red Sox (weiter gedacht) + LA Dodgers = das unvergessliche Spiel der beiden von 2004:
Das war ein spezielles Rätsel nur für dich und du kommst nicht drauf.
Das war ein Rätsel?
Ich dachte du hättest bei deinen Pillen was durcheinander gebracht (oder war das Mahmut?) :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
Dafür löse ich auch meine Frage oben auf der Mann aus Indy der mit den Pats sich 2 mal den Ring anstecken durfte ist Rosevelt Colvin.
Klar. Und wie du siehst, macht es vollkommen Sinn, wobei der Anfang etwas provokant war, das stimmt.
:laugh2:
Achsooooo. Ich dachte jemand, der für die Colts gespielt hat und nicht nur in dem Rattenloch geboren ist.
