Background / Comments
It is thought that Samuel Johnson (he of the famous dictionary) created our word – a lady quoted Samuel Johnson as using it to describe a friend. We can see the word “club” in the word; how much a person is clubbable or unclubbable may be tied to how that one would fare in “The Club”, created by Johnson and others and later called “The Literary Club”. I seem to recall running across unclubbable in some reading; I thought it meant that the character could not qualify for membership in some club — thus, I was not quite right with the definition.
