a
term used since 1950 which means not
handling cases. From a
children's
game played by a child clapping hands alone and with another child while chanting a
nursery rhyme which has the
following beginning words: / "
Pat-a-
cake,
pat-a-
cake, baker's
man! / Bake me a
cake as
fast as you can, / Shape it and prick it, and
mark it with B, / And put it in the oven for
Baby and me!"
