Unfortunately, yes, it's one of those things that you heard about the history of the canal and for some reason it sticks in my head. Back fried eons ago, when the Dutch, if I remember correctly, are the cakes of the dough down pat, with rounds of dough back and forth, falling from hand to hand and took the name pattiecakes. Some time later, when the parents play with their children Pattycake clapped his hand to develop similar to the cake. In fact, it should read pattypie.

Funny stick, like the superfluous things in your mind. At least, was the answer to your question.:)

This word means to fight together. It is a game for kids =) As originally I think everyone can tell, because every nation has the same type of game for children, but they call it differently. I am from Russia, we call this game so "Ладушки (Ladushky).
I hope that helped a little =)
Have a nice day =)
