Does anyone know how this phrase got started?

Anyone remember the George Carlin bit about it? "What exactly is Tat? Where can I get some and and where can I exchange it for that other thing?"
:D :p

Both tip and tap meant 'light blow' in Middle English. I really don't think Carlin would want the kind of tits that necessitate a blowjob to obtain.

True. :D So it was originally Tip for Tap?

Always assumed it was just a corruption of 'this for that', myself.

Yeah, but I forgot to mention that "tit for tat" evolved from that phrase. :eek:
