Near the end of his *Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the
|
|
Madness of Crowds* (1851), Charles Mackay discusses various catch phrases
|
|
briefly popular in mid-19th-century London. One of them, he observes,
|
|
"like a mushroom, seems to have sprung up in the night, or, like a frog in
|
|
Cheapside, to have come down in a sudden shower. One day it was unheard,
|
|
unknown, uninvented; the next it pervaded London."
|
|
|
|
Was "like a frog in Cheapside" (or something similar) a catch phrase
|
|
itself, or did Mackay come up with the simile on his own?
|
|
|
|
And to what event or events does it refer?
|
|
|
|
I didn't find anything relevant in Partridge's *A Dictionary of Catch
|
|
Phrases.*
