The idea took form quickly; the first appearance of the Haddockian argot occurred in "The Crab with the Golden Claws" when the Captain storms towards a party of Berber raiders yelling expressions like "jellyfish", "troglodyte" and "ectoplasm".

Hergé started collecting these types of words for use in Haddock's outbursts, and on occasion even searched dictionaries to come up with inspiration.
