词源
Borrowed from Spanish balconing, itself a pseudo-anglicism from Spanish balcón (“balcony”, noun) + -ing (suffix).
This pseudo-anglicism was coined in Spain as a result of many drunk British tourists dying or seriously injuring themselves by attempting this stunt, thus featuring in many media headlines. See the Wikipedia article for more information.
