I have always believed that doing the hokey cokey and turning around is what it's all about, but ymmv.

I've been doing my deep breathing, and after long and prayerful thought I have decided that I can carry on associating with you despite this deep ideological divide.

Hokey pokey is what they call ice-cream in old books, as far as I'm concerned. I've never encountered the Hokey Tokey, but then I've led a sheltered life.

Phew.

Wikipedia claims that is what they call the Hokey Cokey in New Zealand. I am waiting for the antipodeans on my flist to confirm or deny this.

Is it coming out solidly Cokey for UK readers so far and Pokey for US readers so far in your poll, or is it a mix?

Yes, with the Canadian agreeing with the Americans.
