A pig in a pokeMeaningAn offering or deal that is foolishly accepted without being examined first.Origin‘Don’t buy a pig in a poke’ might seem odd and archaic language. It’s true thatthe phrase is very old, but actually it can be taken quite literally and remainsgood advice.The advice being given is ‘don’t buy a pig until you have seen it’. This isenshrined in British commercial law as ‘caveat emptor’ – Latin for ‘let the buyerbeware’. This remains the guiding principle of commerce in many countries and, inessence, supports the view that if you buy something you take responsibility tomake sure it is what you intended to buy.A poke is a small sack or bag and is the origin of the word pocket. The word isstill in use in several English-speaking countries, notably Scotland and USA. Apoke is just the sort of bag that would be useful for carrying a piglet to market.A pig that’s in a poke may turn out to be no pig at all. If a merchant tried tocheat by substituting a lower value animal, the trick could be uncovered byletting the cat out of the bag. The advice has stood the test of time and peoplehave been repeating it for getting on for five hundred years, maybe longer.”The phrase “pig in a poke” originated in 16th century London where it stood asthe standard warning for consumers buying their future ham feast: “When ye profferthe pigge open the poke.” Traditionally, pig traders would enclose their pigs in asack as the packaging for sale. Unscrupulous merchants attempting to swindle theirbuyers would put a cat in the bag instead, hoping the ruse would not be discovereduntil the purchaser returned home and opened the sack. (Kinda like after theelection polls of obama) Smart buyers would therefore heed the warning and checkthe bag before buying, thus “letting the cat out of the bag.”……………………………………………………………………………………………………….This blog is my endeavor to reveal obama as the “pig in the poke”.Obama’s records are in the “poke”.
