Word’s Matter with Kel Richards: Origin of the phrase ‘carry on like a pork chop’

Wordsmith and broadcaster Kel Richards has discussed the origin of the phrase 'carry on like a pork chop'. "The original expression, which appears to go back to around the 1920s, was carry on like a pork chop in Jerusulm on a Saturday, so what it was doing was multiplying things," Mr Richards told Sky News host Peta Credlin. "Obviously, pork is not kosher, so it's disallowed food in Jewish diets, secondly Jerusalem is the holy city for Jews, thirdly Saturday is the holy day of the week for the sabbath for Jewish people. "So it was one over-the-top thing after another, after another. "So if someone goes over the top again and again, they are carrying on like a pork chop."
