In a game of Whack-A-Weasel there are a couple of holes from which
weasels pop their heads out randomly.
Your goal is to smack a weasels head with a hammer in order to push it back to its hole.
You have to consider, that hitting a
weasel with a hammer in the face is not quite a challenge and of course humiliating for the poor animal.
The phrase "Pop! Goes the weasel." in terms of
conflict resolution describes the effortless humiliation of another person.
The phrase does not refer to a fight being fair or not.
You could use this phrase to comment a situation in which you owned.
Casey get's into an fight with Josh. Now it seems that Josh has quite an
unfair advantage because of his
upper body strength and nutrition. Yet as Case lands a powerful kick in his ball sack, Josh collapses and cries like a baby. Casey comments : "pop goes the
weasel"
(Well, not because she whacked his weasel but because it was quite effortless, you know.)
