- The phrase is thought to be a metaphor from the bounding and rebounding of the ball in real tennis, and was discussed by Sir James Murray during his editing of the Oxford English Dictionary, in Notes and Queries December 1905, p. 528. Murray commented as follows: ‘The original form of this expression was from post to pillar. Of twenty-two quotations between 1420 (Lydgate) and 1700 now before me, seventeen have the original and five the later form, three of the latter being in verse, and having post riming with tost, tossed, which was apparently the fons et origo of the transposition ... May I throw out the conjecture ... that the game in which there was a chance of something being tossed from post to pillar was tennis?’.
