Early childhood lesson: upon hearing Pop Goes the Weasel head towards it if there’s ice-cream truck potential, otherwise back-away.
theories about how a weasel might pop:
There has been much speculation about the meaning of the phrase and song title, “Pop Goes the Weasel”. Some say a weasel is a tailor’s flat iron, silver-plate dishes, a dead animal, a hatter’s tool, or a spinner’s weasel. One writer notes, “Weasels do pop their heads up when disturbed and it is quite plausible that this was the source of the name of the dance.”

I saw that in a box at the White Elephant flea market in New Milford, Connecticut, August 4, 2019.
Seemed appropriate for this thread.
Go ask Alice.
