WORD HISTORY Charles C. Boycott seems to have become a household word because of his strong sense of duty to his employer. An Englishman and former British soldier, Boycott was the estate agent of the Earl of Erne in County Mayo, Ireland. The earl was one of the absentee landowners who as a group held most of the land in Ireland. Boycott was chosen in the fall of 1880 to be the test case for a new policy advocated by Charles Parnell, an Irish politician who wanted land reform. Any landlord who would not charge lower rents or any tenant who took over the farm of an evicted tenant would be given the complete cold shoulder by Parnell's supporters. Boycott refused to charge lower rents and ejected his tenants. At this point members of Parnell's Irish Land League stepped in, and Boycott and his family found themselves isolated

1. Even better - there was an English cricketer in the 80s called Boycott

In 1982 he was instrumental in organizing, in defiance of a United Nations and TCCB ban, a so-called "rebel" tour of apartheid South Africa by 13 current and former England Test cricketers who were almost all nearing the end of their careers. All the players were banned from international cricket for three years as a result.

So, Boycott boycotted the boycott, and, as a result, he was boycotted!
