Where did the saying starvin' like Marvin come from?
The phrase "I'm starvin' like Marvin" goes back to at least the the late 1980's because I heard it and was using it with my friends in high school. I can't remember which of us heard it first or from where, but it certainly didn't originate with us. It wasn't a reference to any particular person named Marvin and the name Marvin simply rhymed with the slang pronunciation of the word 'starving'. The animated show South Park has an episode where a very hungry character (Marvin) is trying to find food for himself and his people. The main characters on the show try to help 'starvin Marvin'. ___________ Actually it comes from Cockney Rhyming Slang- the original phrase was "Lee Marvin", basically starving. So to say youre hungry you just say "Im Lee Marvin!" ___________ LL Cool J used the phrase in his 1985 single Rock the Bells: You've been waitin' and debatin' for oh so long Just starvin' like Marvin for a Cool J. song If you cried and thought I died, you definitely was wrong It took a thought, plus I brought Cut Creator along It was around long before that.
