CLOD POLES JIG. American, Jig (6/8 time). A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Clod-pole = an idiot. A term of derision. Robert Forby's The Vocabulary of East Anglia (1830, p. 69) records:
CLOD-HOPPER, s. a working farmer, or labourer in husbandry. In T.J. we are told that this is the modern vulgarism for 'clod-pole'. Vulgarisms both, undoubtedly; but they can never be synonymous and commutable till head and heels meet. Indeed, note but a very accomplished tumbler can be at the same time a 'clod-pole' and a 'clod-hopper'. The meaning of each word is quite obvious, and perfectly distinct.
