Peter K, the ice cream cornet called a "poke" would have been bought from the "hokey-pokey man" who was probably Italian, and said "ecco e poco" as he handed you your little glass dish of ice cream..(see Oh, oh, Antonio, that ancient music hall ditty.) My old English teacher was a whiz on word derivations. |
