| 词汇 | pokey |
| 词源 | pokey. Someone going to jail, or the pokey, is doubtless often poked along by an officer with a nightstick. But while such pokes may have influenced the popularity of the word pokey, it probably has its roots in the French poche, “a small enclosure,” or the older pogy, “a workhouse or poorhouse.” |
