Tug the Cox	Folk phrase survivals? (20)	RE: Folk phrase survivals?	18 Aug 10
The opposit also happens....the childrens dancing song ' There sits poor sally in the sand' originally had the line I would't part from my true love for fourpence ha'penny farthing' ( Violet Gomme) In leiceater in the 80's this was a popular game in the playgrounds, but the phrase now, instead of 'fourpence ha'penny farthing' they now sang 'oops, beg your pardon', which presumably made more sense in post decimilisation times. ( Fourpence ha'penny farthing is also the name of a Playford dance)
