GUEST,JTT Folklore/Linguistics: What's a Rinktum? (111* d) RE: Folklore/Linguistics: What's a Rinktum? 27 Mar 13

But isn't sparrow grass actually earlier?

Hm, no, I'm wrong, says the OED, "mid 16th century: via Latin from Greek asparagos".

Another rinktum relative is to be found in Whiskey in the Jar:

With a ring dum doorum da
Whack fol the daddy o
Whack fol the daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar.
