What was the Doughboy in World War I?
The term "doughboy" most commonly refers to American infantryment around WWI. By the time WWII began, infantrymen were called G.I.'s. There's evidence that the word doughboy was in use as far back as the mid-19th century around the Mexican border. Some of the explanations given for the term: they refer to the dumpling-shaped buttons on the soldiers' jackets during WWI; they allude to the pipe clay -- resembling dough -- that was used to clean the white belts the soldiers wore. Some say the British and French forces used the term to ridicule the American soldiers who were soft, having just entered the war, some four years after Europe had already been in battle. ------------------------- The American troops stationed in England always seemed to have doughnuts from the USO, so their Brit counterparts started calling them Dough-Boys.

How is American cookie dough all right to eat raw when regular dough that you use to make cooked cookies is not good for you to eat?
Packaged dough in the tube has been precooked specially to kill disease so it is safe to eat. When I was young I made cookies from the dough and my mom was worried so she called the company. Note that contamination of the dough "could" occur, whether or not it is baked before you eat it. Baking would eliminate most types of bacteria that could affect the dough.
