Canon George Nairn-Briggs, Provost of Wakefield Cathedral, West Yorkshire, says that the two the call of the dance and its movements have been initially designed to satirise the classic Mass and the clergy. The dance is composed of contributors forming a series and flinging their limbs approximately according to instructions. Canon Nairn-Briggs reported: "interior the days whilst the priest celebrated the Mass together with his back to the individuals and whispered the Latin words of consecration with many hand movements, the laity mimicked the movements as they observed them and the words as they misheard them." The words "hokey cokey" have been a mishearing, or a planned parody, of the Latin word "Hoc est enim corpus meum", which interprets as "it is my physique".
