Talk:pinch and a punch for the first of the month

In the West Country, England the retaliation is 'A flick and a kick for being so quick'. What is the origin of the whole thing?

18th and 19th Century Yuletide Cheer parody?
Is it possible that a pinch of snuff and a cup of punch as the traditional offerings of the gentry to casual callers over the Christmas season might be finished off on New Year's morning with this saying as a warning to those over-staying their welcome? White rabbits would seem to fit the season, too, as a loose pun on Welsh Rarebit - though Harvey the Pooka also springs to mind in relation to witch-warding. 210.50.148.124 01:17, 1 December 2008 (UTC) Ian Ison

 * I've cleaned it up. I may RFV it. — Beobach 21:48, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
