Its often the little things that are different here in Australia; a few weeks ago I was doing a swim coaching course and discovered that the innocent child's song, "The Hokey-Cokey" somehow transforms itself into the "the Hokey-Pokey" somewhere over the equator!
Some quick research on Google revealed that something we use to teach co-ordination and "left / right" to young kids was actually invented by Protestants who were ridiculing the Roman Catholic tradition.
HILARIOUS!!!
If you have too much time on your hands you might like to check out a couple of sites that clarify (???) the situation.
The original Google search
... a very informative article...
...explains connection with hocus pocus...
... apparently American GI's were to blame!
... gets a little rude!
... another perspective...
ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS!
Thanks to my new friend Lydia for pointing out the difference after she read my blog!
