英语词汇pop goes the weasel的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	pop goes the weasel
词源	pop goes the weasel. The children’s song “Pop Goes The Weasel” (ca. 1853) by W. R. Mandale is the source for this phrase. The refrain goes: “Up and down the City Road, / In and out the Eagle, / That’s the way the money goes—/Pop goes the Weasel.” The Eagle was a popular London pub or music hall of the day, while weasel referred to a hatter’s tool, and pop was a contemporary term meaning “to pawn or hock.”
