词组 pop your clogs
释义

pop your clogs die. British informal

☞ The expression, which is first recorded in 1970, probably comes from the idea of 'popping' (i.e. pawning) a person's clogs after they have died (and therefore have no further use for them). It may well also have been influenced, though, by the colloquial pop off meaning 'die', which dates back to the mid 18th century.

1998Oldie We cannot claim any credit for foreseeing that Enoch was about to pop his clogs.
