Really an Old Term.

Cheek" in the sense of impotence
is an old term. The earliest quotation
in Sir James Murray's dictionary is
from Captain Marryat QS40. But
1t has lately been found in the six
teenth century records of Galway, in
the west of ireland. The municipal
rulers of that fighting city-the man
from Galway" has become proverbial
for pluck and readiness to defend the
hottest of corners-decreed that any
person giving "cheke' to the mayor
should forfeit 100 shillings and have
his body put into prison"
