GUEST,Rhban	Pop Goes the Weasel (37)	RE: Pop Goes the Weasel	28 Oct 16
When I was a kid, I was told a weasel was a hat - much the same as "beaver", which was, I believe, used in Ireland even in the last century. So "Pop goes the weasel" meant the hat was pawned (again). This seems to go against all the other explanations here, and not only is it the one I have believed all my life, it also make a lot more sense than some of the other far-fetched theories.
