1. A classic Nursery Rhyme always sung in preschools, day cares, and kindergarten classes all over.
2. One of the most gothic songs ever.
Although never confirmed, this seemingly harmless nursery rhyme is believed by many people to refer to the Black Plague in Europe during the Middle Ages. It seems quite strange, and even a little scary for 5 year old kids to be singing to this song.
Here's a breakdown of the song:
Ring Around the Rosey(victims of the plague would usually have a red, swollen ring around their eyes)
A pocket full of posies(people would carry flowers in their pockets to cover the lingering smell of death, and some people even thought they would ward off the disease)
Ashes, Ashes(this refers to the fact that they would take dead bodies and people suffering from the disease, throw them in pits, and burn their bodies to slow down the spread of the disease)
We all fall down(basically this means death)

Ring around the Rosey.
A pocket full of posies.
Ashes, Ashes.
We all fall down.
The thought of innocent children singing this song in their nursery schools is pretty bone chilling.

Get the Ring Around The Roseymug. When someone persists with an activity long after it's lost its merit or factor of amusement for others. You know the sort of people, they hang around long after a party has ended, use the same joke over and over again. They'll continue doing their thing no matter how tedious it becomes for those around them.

Juan mumbles, "Damn, this bastard is really tearing the ring out of it"

Get the red rings of deathmug. A popular homosexual practice in which a bender takes two dicks in his ass at the same time. Named after the famous gay artist Briggsy who popularised it at his renowned gay soirees in the 1990s.
It's no wonder that Briggsy walked funny. Nigel and Quentin gave me a Briggsy ring-splitter at the weekend and I haven't been able to sit down since.
